Fourth. we must consider such a threat or use of force to stop the wholesale slaughter of mass numbers of civilians even outside the safe havens. While we should not become militarily involved in a civil war in Iraq. we have an obligation to prevent the creation of new "killing fields." We have a duty to protect the truly innocent from annihilation at the hands of a modern. mechanized army. Fifth. at some point the concept of safe havens must be transformed into a policy of safe passage home for the Kurds and other refugees of Saddams aggression. Some way of assuring that the Iraqi refugees can return home without being strafed or bombed must be worked out by the United Nations. We cannot tolerate the longterm institutionalization of refugee camps. The refugees of Iraq deserve to go home and live in peace. Sixth. we should make clear to Iraq that all costs associated with the refugee problem will be added to the bill Iraq owes the world community as a result of Saddams aggression. Saddam and his clique must realize that every action they take against their own people will delay their ability to rejoin the community of nations and rebuild their nation. Frankly.
