The UN and the EU want Israel to stop its military operations in Gaza. I understand that a military operation can weaken the strength of the terrorists, but I don't see how UN and EU diplomats will stop the missiles from falling on Israel's towns. What can the UN and the EU do to REALLY protect the people of Israel who are attacked by terrorist missiles every day?

Dear Mr. Vondra, it is not easy to come by news about the Czech Republic and your internal political situation, but I understand that your government is going throug a crisis and that it has lost a working majority in the Parliament. Should we worry that the government may fall during the period of Czech presidency? Thank you.

Will the Czech presidency take any action in order to hasten Ukraine's accession to the EU? Do you support Ukraine's and Georgia's effort to enter NATO?

J Thorson, 9. 1. 2009, 9:12
Dear Mr. Vondra, I am always unhappy with the lukewarm approach the EU is taking to all major foreign policy issues. We only try to "moderate dialogue", we try never to clearly take sides in order not to cause ourselves trouble - as in the case of Georgia or Gaza. Do you think that it will be ever possible for Europe to act as a strong and united MILITARY power in international relations? What must be done in order to make it possible?
