Ron Kind: “let us be certain we are speaking with sincerity today, because there is no doubt that what we say here will be heard…”

On the recordMarch 11, 1999
let us be certain we are speaking with sincerity today, because there is no doubt that what we say here will be heard across the oceans and will be acted upon, one way or the other. Our leadership for freedom and democracy in the world is at stake, our leadership in the NATO alliance is very much at stake. In fact, I would submit, that the very credibility and the justification for the existence of NATO is at stake on how well we negotiate peace agreements in this very important historical region in the Balkans. I hope and pray our message here today encourages action that is positive and peaceful and brings a tormented region to the brink of freedom, rather than to the brink of war once again.
