Ireland has never been neutral in the sense that it does not have a view on good and evil. We did what we thought was right in Rwanda and Kosovo and offered support accordingly. No matter how the war started, the world has changed. If we now change the way we have been behaving, we will affect the outcome. Until now we have allowed the Americans to overfly our airspace and given them the use of Shannon Airport. Were we to change our stance now that America is at war we would be acting on behalf of Saddam Hussein and Iraq, something I do not believe anyone in Ireland wants. We must continue with our policy because to change now would be to act on behalf of the enemies of the US. If we had been given more time, things might have been different.
