Je partage l'opinion de Hans-Gert Poettering sur Saddam : c'est lui le responsable de ce qui arrive ; il aurait pu éviter l'usage des armes en mettant fin à sa dictature sanguinaire, comme le lui avaient suggéré jusqu'à hier après-midi encore non seulement de nombreux députés de ce Parlement, mais aussi les gouvernements saoudien et d'autres pays arabes.
I share Mr Poettering’s opinion on Saddam Hussein: it is he who is responsible for the current events. He could have avoided armed conflict by putting an end to his bloody dictatorship, as was suggested to him until yesterday afternoon not just by many Members of Parliament but by the Government of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries too.
