Instead, I want to start by mentioning the crime that is going on in and around the village of Gorazde in what used to be Yugoslavia. We must lift the arms embargo, even if that means the number of killings will increase. This week is the 51st anniversary of the beginning of the slaughter of the Polish Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. It would have been nice if they had been able to make the Gestapo pay a more severe price as they were slaughtered. We cannot let people be killed wholesale without giving them the means to defend themselves. It is going to take a full generation to change the attitudes that have created this crime wave across this country. Liberal philosophy has brought us to this point. It is going to take another 30 years to begin to undo the damage that has been done. The liberal philosophy in this Chamber, putting up these phony resistances to a good crime bill, is tragic. Crime will be identical next year, worse than what it is right now. And the Democrats crime bill will matter nothing because it is phony.

I demand constitutional authority of this House over men and women going into combat. And the minimum we should get is what we have had ever since World War II: consultation.
