The pages of history turn slowly and the jury on what is currently happening in Iraq will not report for at least five years. All of us must ensure, by our work in this House and the Government's work in Europe and at the United Nations, that in the next five or ten years, the people of Iraq will be able to look back on a very difficult period in their history and see that things have improved, with the help of the United Nations. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1511 is a major step in the right direction. I commend the Minister of State and his colleague, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Cowen, for what they are attempting to do. We must keep the focus on the UN and on joint EU policy as well. That is the way forward. We cannot solve the humanitarian jigsaw unless it is part of the overall political equation. To replay what happened six or 12 months ago is not going to make a whit of difference to any citizen of Iraq. Only what is happening at UN and EU levels can make a difference. I wish the Minister of State well in his ongoing efforts in that regard.
