The PDS is the only German political party that has objected military strikes as means of retaliation. On Sunday's party conference in the eastern city of Dresden, the PDS released a declaration of "peace appeal" and a leading motion to make clear its stance. The responsible of the terrorist attacks in US must be found out and sentenced, said the motion endorsed by most deputies of the conference. The attacks were attacks against civilization, the motion added. "But war should not be the answer to terrorism," said the motion, "The fight against terrorism can be won while war against it would never." The PDS demanded the German government not to join in the preparations for war. Instead, the government should use its good relationship with the United States to hold the Bush administration back from a war, according to the proposal. The mankind is being threatened both by the September 11 attacks and possible military retaliatory strikes by the U.S. and its allies, said the motion. PDS president Gabi Zimmer rejected military measures to fight back in her address Sunday, saying "They could lead to escalation of violence."
