We have played our part very effectively, unlike some of the superpowers. I cite the example of Beirut in 1983 when Irish troops were serving in Lebanon. We were there from 1978, but in 1983 the multinational force comprised of the British, Americans, Italians and French decided to come in and do it their way. In May 1984, 241 US marines were killed and they withdrew from Beirut. The UN decided to return and the Irish were the first to do so. We worked under the UN, which is the way we do our business, and we stayed there until we proudly brought peace to Lebanon. The Irish paid with their lives. We have nothing of which to be ashamed in terms of the position we adopt or in our interpretation of neutrality. We play our part and we should continue to do so. I acknowledge that there is plenty of room for debate on this issue.
