Is passive assistance in matters of war and bloodshed any less culpable than active participation in war? Has self-interest clouded the thinking of Government parties on the issue? Is there a perception that self-interest demands our partnership in wrongdoing? Are we hiding behind the shield of our own hypocrisy in this situation? Neutrality implies lack of accountability to any side in a war situation, lack of support for one side over the other and lack of involvement. To whom are we now accountable? Are we accountable to the United States, the United Kingdom or Iraq? The answer, surely, is that we are accountable to ourselves and, by virtue of our membership, we are accountable to the United Nations.
