I am certain that working on the predicate that they are a sovereign nation, they can make decisions. There will be decisions which are inconsistent with the views that we hold in this country. How do we enforce our views without interfering with their sovereignty? First, let them speak with absolute clarity to this. The McConnell amendment--and the Senator keeps saying within the four corners. Look at corner No. 1. The introductory has very clear and expressed language against the policy. Will there be times that we disagree with their exercise of sovereignty and their own wisdom? Yes. But if we are to obtain what we hope is our goal of giving that nation its sovereign right, we cannot be dictating to them how they reach their final decision.
