From the Declaration of Lofty Principles on the EU Desk in Brussels

Resolved,

• that we will again focus our attention and our energies (as well as the world's) on condemning the most unspeakable horrors and the most intense suffering seen in the world today, such as the death penalty in the United States and the acts of torture commited by America at Abu Ghraib; and
• that we will do our best to prevent the Yankee cowboys from their sword-rattling, inviting them instead to display modesty, tolerance, and patience towards the ayatollahs of Iran, and nudging the former instead to engage same in dialog and discussion, all within a climate of tolerance and mutual respect.
