Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations II

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Senators,

I will support Motion 6.1 and Motiom 6.3.
I care not for Motion 6.2, but I will support it if the acting consul agrees to ally with the Germans at any cost, otherwise I will oppose it.
I will support Motion 6.5, but I will not hold it against the first consul if the fails in this objective, as it will be difficult one to accomplish, if not impossible.
I will also support Motion 6.6, as I applaud offensive action against the Greeks of any kind. I will accordingly propose :

Motion 6.7 : We will ally ourselves with the Illyrians at any cost, also offering to declare war on their enemy the kingdom of Macedon.

I will disregard the modification of Motion 6.3 by senator Publius Pansa, as I feel he must first reach agreement with the first consul on the amendment of this proposal.

I agree with senator Tiberius Coruncanius. Why should our republic declare war on a nation that has done us no harm ? Does the Republic not have enough enemies ? I know well senator Verginius´s dislike of barbarians, but we have no history of conflict with the Iberians. They have been most convenient to us by attacking the Cartheginian colonies in Spain. Let us welcome them as friendly neighbours and let me remind the consul that the Motion that summons to consul to ally with Iberia still stands. I expect him not to violate the edicts of the Senate. Thus I violently oppose Motion 6.4
