On the recordMarch 12, 1998
Systematic, brutal genocide has once again reared its ugly head. Ethnic Albanians in Kosova are being slaughtered. And after all this, an official at the State Department referred to Albanian freedom fighters as terrorists. Shame, Mr. Speaker. I hope I am wrong. I hope I am wrong. But it appears that the State Department is justifying the brutal killing behavior of a dictator called Milosevic and by doing so is legitimizing the slaughter of innocent men, women and children of Albanian descent. Beware, Congress. This matter in Kosova can be the next Bosnia. I would also like to add that Albanian men, women and children are God's children as well. One last reminder. England referred to George Washington years and years ago as a terrorist.
