I would be interested to hear the comments of the Minister of State on the lack of respect this Government has for human life. Have we decided, in 12 short months, that it is all right to butcher, slay, torture and maim innocent civilians in Iraq? Is that the policy of this Government when it comes to respect for life in other countries? It is a sad day when the party founded by Éamon de Valera, which once prided itself on this country's neutrality, finds itself at the beck and call of the US dollar. It is disgusting and depraved.
