“I think that there must not be any. When we had the NATO meeting in January, the one thing I implored our allies to do was not to reaffirm our position unless we were willing to see it through. I still feel that way. The possibility of misunderstanding in this area is so great anyway, because of the shared responsibility and the contingent responsibility of NATO--contingent on what the U.N. does--and the difficulty in getting all the parties together, that we simply must not be on record in favor of any policy we are not prepared to follow through on. Thank you.”
