I praise the Government for its handling of this issue. From the time the Minister for Foreign Affairs gave that inspired address to the Security Council to the present time, the Government has kept aloof from the political agendas of the protagonists, while at the same time it has been able to show that we were willing and, as far as possible, ready to help. It is necessary to become more proactive. We must take several steps back from where we now are in Iraq and realise that this is leading nowhere. Some say in an American context that it is leading to a Vietnam scenario, but it is worse than that because here one has the interaction of fundamentalist religion with politics and the interaction of superpowers who want to have greater power within the world. The only hope we have is to speak transparently, sincerely and courageously on this, for which we will be thanked, and not just by the lesser players but by the major players in time to come.
