All in all, we have no choice in this matter. We cannot sit on the fence. We must be seen to support those closest to us. We have a decision to make. Do we side with the US-UK alliance or Saddam Hussein? Senator Ross put it clearly: if we are seen to revert on a decision regarding the use of Shannon Airport, which has been the precedent for 50 years, and change tack, it will be seen not only as a hostile attack on the United States but also as promoting the propaganda Saddam Hussein has continued to use, particularly in recent weeks, to try to break up the United Nations, which would suit him, and what would be a developing power in the European Union. I do not support this. I hope our colleagues on the other side of the House who have expressed different positions might agree with this sentiment and not put the motion to a vote. That would represent a great display of unity by this House. It would display that the Seanad has been able to deliberate reasonably on this issue, open it up for a good debate and show the United States and the United Kingdom that we are not prepared to be associated with the murderous campaign Saddam Hussein has waged, not alone on his own people but also on the people of Kuwait. If given the chance, he would wage it on people throughout the world.
