“I think if someone was paying attention to the last several resolutions that have come to the floor, one will note that there is a relationship between them, and that is, since the end of the cold war and during the cold war, our country had its divisions and they reflected themselves within the political battles that were going on throughout our country during the elections, various elections that took place. But since the end of the cold war, there has been a unanimity of opinion in the United States and a coming together of both conservatives and liberals, of Republican and Democrat, behind those traditional values that our Founding Fathers wanted to be the basis of our decisionmaking. We are supposed to be on the side of the good guys. I mean, it is as simple as that. We should be on the side of the good guys. We should be on the side of the oppressed and those people who want more freedom and democracy and to treat people honestly and decently, and against the tyrants and the thugs of this world. Mr. Speaker, this resolution goes to the heart of that. Whether it is Saddam Hussein or the dictatorship in Vietnam, we are on the side of democracy and human rights. I would ask my colleagues to join me in support of this resolution.”
