Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 7, 2001
I want to express deep disappointment in an article which appeared in yesterday's New York Times with regard to Lebanon. We lost American men and women at the American Embassy in 1983. We lost 241 Marines who went there to help the Lebanese people and to help the Lebanese Government. There was an article whereby the former Prime Minister, Selim al- Hoss, said the following: ``The United States is consequently a terrorist partner, which makes the U.S. unfit to lead the world.'' Mr. Speaker, we need in this region reconciliation; we need peace. We do not need inflammatory statements like this from the leadership and former leadership of the Lebanese Government. We should be bringing people together, not dividing people.
