Political Quotes

“Mr. President, we come once again to a crossroads. In the two votes that we will cast in a short while, we will make a fateful decision for the war-torn people of Bosnia and also for our own people, as we consider what part we shall play in the post-cold-war world. How shall we protect our security and uphold our principles? The decision we have is not to express whether we care about the slaughter and suffering in Bosnia. I know that all Members of the Senate care. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Will we lead or will we follow? Will the trumpet we sound be strong and certain, or will it be muted? That to me is the fundamental choice between these two amendments and that is why I will vote no on the first amendment and yes on the second, which I am proud to cosponsor with the Senator from Kansas, and which will unilaterally lift the illegal and immoral arms embargo against the people of Bosnia.”
