Uden hensyntagen til Europa-Parlamentets holdning - der er modstander af en krig uden FN 's godkendelse - er det uacceptabelt, at en række europæiske regeringer har fastholdt deres støtte til Bush-regeringen, hvis virkelige objektive mål aldrig har været at afvæbne Irak, men snarere at styrte det irakiske regime, etablere et nordamerikansk protektorat og kontrollere Iraks rigdomme, især i form af olie.
It is unacceptable that, in disregard for the European Parliament's position - which is one of opposition to a war without the sanction of the United Nations - some European governments should have persisted in their support for the Bush administration, whose real objective was never to disarm Iraq but, rather, to overthrow the Iraqi regime, install a North American protectorate there and control the wealth of Iraq, particularly in the form of oil.
