Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

There is sovereignty and human rights in question. Senator Norris is correct that deep down we all believe the same thing. However, that is not enough. If we do not stand up to be counted on these issues not only will America suffer, but Ireland and the rest of the world will suffer as well. The first step that must be taken is an admission by the United States that it was wrong. We will have to rebuild bridges with an entire community not only in Iraq, but throughout the world. I hope this House will give leadership, as it has done in the past, irrespective of what might not be politically correct.
