"Und deshalb wiederhole ich hier den Satz, den ich an dem Tag [4. Juni 2005] den Menschen auf dem Soldatenfriedhof in Luxemburg zurief:»Wer an Europa zweifelt, wer an Europa verzweifelt, der sollte Soldatenfriedhöfe besuchen!« Nirgendwo besser, nirgendwo eindringlicher, nirgendwo bewegender ist zu spüren, was das europäische Gegeneinander an Schlimmstem bewirken kann. Das Nicht-Zusammenleben-Wollen und das Nicht-Zusammenleben-Können haben im 20. Jahrhundert 80 Millionen Menschen das Leben gekostet. Jede Stunde des Zweiten Weltkrieges hat 1045 Tote gebracht."
