Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

I believe we have taken a balanced view. We reaffirm the United Nations and wish to have its authority strongly established. We do not want war. We recognise the sovereignty of Iraq and its people, all the proper sentiments one should have on an occasion such as this. It is sad to be debating a war which has now begun. I hope it will be swift and short and that civilians will not suffer. I do not know enough about Saddam Hussein to attach epithets to him. This is not how we should conduct a debate such as this.
