Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

A number of Members rightly referred to the aftermath of the conflict. This is a complex area and is by no means black and white. The international community and, in particular, the superpowers must emerge from this conflict with a greater sensitivity towards the concerns of the many countries in the Arab world. They will have to become more sensitive to the pressures on governments in the Muslim world which, in many cases, are endeavouring to fight the growth of terrorism within their own borders and will now, no doubt, have to deal with increased anti-western sentiments among their populations. We will need a more balanced approach in the months and years ahead.
