“press accounts keep saying that genocide in Europe and Bosnia started 22 months ago. Basically, Europe has done nothing. In fact, Europe keeps asking where is Uncle Sam? My question today is, Where is Italy, where is France, where is Germany, where is Russia, and where is England? You see, Uncle Sam already is the policeman for the world. Now they want us to be the neighborhood crime watch. Something is very wrong here, Congress. Remember this: It all started out with advisers in Vietnam. Then Presidents, generals, and admirals declared their own war. Congress never declared war in Vietnam. We do not need another Vietnam. No. 1, if we are going to commit troops or get involved in Bosnia, this Congress should authorize and make that decision. That is what the Constitution says. Finally, if they are going to beat their chest about a united European Community, maybe Europe should get involved in the fights in their own backyard.”
