If my arguments on Bosnia sound familiar, it is because we have been in this position before. And, we should have learned, Mr. President, that unless we act, thousands of people are going to die needlessly in Bosnia. We have the power to do something about it. With that power comes the moral responsibility to act. We can vindicate justice without risking the lives of American ground troops if we lift the arms embargo to allow the victims of aggression to defend themselves. I yield back whatever time I have.
