Some 60% of Irish respondents regarded the United States as the greatest threat to world peace. I do not say this with any sense of satisfaction. If I were asked to stand up and say to which country I would like to give my loyalty, support and credence it would be the United States of America. My answer could not be otherwise, because as far as I am concerned it is a sister nation. The United States has always been supportive of Ireland. It opened its borders to us. It opened its heart to us and helped us in so many ways. I wish to highlight the perception in the report that is evident in Ireland and Europe. If this is the case then how do we begin to create a long-term solution to the Iraqi problem? If this perception cannot be changed then the next step has to be a radical reappraisal of where we are and where we want to go.
