It doesn't work, right? Don't read your speech.

Nein merely brings calamity closer.

Curtailing freedom merely polarizes society.

That route will lead only to moral and political decay.

Perseverance in error does not correct the error it merely exacerbates it.

Defending a status quo that is unworkable only makes matters worse.

The ideological weakness and division of the left will not, of course, exclude them from power.

But protectionism will not curb the other forms of globalization.

Based on the reality of the situation, a total ban would not lead to a practical or effective solution.

Muddling through as before would only escalate and prolong the crisis.

Delay will only retard terrorism s disappearance.

Likewise, the undue emphasis on consensus only serves to confuse and obfuscate the issue.

On that understanding, the implementation of paragraph 4 would not give rise to any additional requirements.

In fact, arguing over grievances merely drives the sides further apart.

More threats will only push the international community further along the spiral of escalation and, possibly, into military action.

But delay only offers more room for Kostunica to find ways to make a Security Council decision more difficult.

Talks outside of this framework, where some of the parties are excluded, will never lead to any sustainable agreements.

Threatened aid cutoffs in Kenya, Chad, and elsewhere would make desperately bad situations worse.

A bailout, then, would simply delay the inevitable at a huge cost to taxpayers.

Changing leaders will in no way alter these conditions for making peace.

As we know from bitter experience, waiting only makes a peace settlement harder to achieve.

With moderates being marginalized, the long term effect will be to undermine democratization efforts in the region.

In general, the use of double standards would inevitably be detrimental to the ongoing efforts to protect and promote human rights.

But failure to act now will only raise the price of delayed action at some moment in the future.

Allowing this conflict to fester will only aggravate our peoples insecurity and our region s instability.

Nor can it launch a war whenever it wishes without alienating other countries.

As a result, new infrastructure would only mitigate the impact of scarcity on richer countries.

The approach taken by the sponsors was not conducive to establishing human rights mechanisms supported by the Member States.

Preserving the status quo in both categories of membership would, in our view, only complicate existing problems.

This softer approach will prove counterproductive, as it will not strengthen democratic forces in Serbia.

A change of tack by Merkel now would merely reinvigorate the devastated SPD.

To deny this, to threaten to undo Polish German reconciliation, is to harm Poland s fundamental national interests.

Military intervention would merely further complicate the issue, while creating new layers of conflict in our region and beyond.

The key is confidence. Germany must trust that its agreement to loosen the eurozone s fiscal belt will not lead to a slowdown of structural reforms, and countries like France need to know that excessive austerity will not exacerbate the impact of politically difficult structural reforms in the short run.

If this is financed by cutbacks elsewhere in the budget, the main consequence will be only a re distribution of government spending, which is not necessarily inflationary.

Given all this, more deficit spending will only stoke fears of higher future taxes and inflation.

But now many Bangladeshis fears for their livelihoods, owing to unlimited Chinese textile imports following the end of quotas last year.

Otherwise, the referendum to ratify the government s proposed MAS (Movement for Socialism) constitution will only fuel more strife.

They believe that boosting allied forces will only increase the sense of occupation and give the Taliban more targets.

But silencing these people by force, and calling them foreign backed terrorists, can have only one result more violence.

Adding a further criterion by which intention must be demonstrated would merely make proof more difficult.

By taking an essentially passive position, this approach might merely prolong the Age of Terrorism needlessly.

For that will only exacerbate the already fragile political and security situation in many of the hardest hit countries.

But a political vacuum in Lebanon only makes violence more likely, which Hezbollah doesn t want.

On the contrary failure to build mutual trust now would only compound the already existing difficulties.
