Political Quotes

“there is no doubt that most Americans support efforts to bring peace to Bosnia and to end the war against the Bosnian people being waged by Serb forces in Bosnia. I share the deep concern of many Americans over recent events in Bosnia, especially the violation of safe areas established by the United Nations. Americans are right to feel outrage and frustration over the events in Bosnia. The violations of human rights and atrocities against women, children and unarmed men should disgust everyone. It is natural for us to look for some solution to the war in Bosnia which will bring a quick resolution to this brutal war against the Bosnian people. Unfortunately, there are no quick and easy solutions to the crisis in Bosnia. This is certainly true of the proposed legislation before the House today which would unilaterally lift the arms embargo currently in effect for all of the former parts of Yugoslavia. Lifting the embargo will ensure that the war will continue in Bosnia while sharply undermining efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement in Bosnia.”
