If we do not act. if we neglect our duty to humanity. we would. as Dwight Eisenhower once said in speaking about a failure to confront evil in the world. "outrage our own conscience. In the eyes of those who suffer injustice we would become partners with their oppressors." There Is more. much more. we can and should do now to confront the evil of Saddam Hussein and avert further loss of innocent lives. First. we must dramatically expand our airlift operation to feed. clothe. and shelter the enormous refugee populations created by Saddams aggression. within and outside of Iraq. That humanitarian response to a tragedy of historic proportions is something the world community simply must undertake with all possible speed. Second. the President should declare that Iraqi helicopters will be shot down If they fly.
