Madam President. we have watched over the last week as the plight of the Kurdish refugees from Iraq has gone from bad to worse. Questions of whether we should have continued military action with Desert Storm longer than we did. or whether we should have denied Iraqi forces the use of the air against the Kurdish. will only be answered by history. However. we can. here. today. answer the question of whether the United States bears some responsibility for the Kurdish refugees. We do bear the responsibility of aiding these people. of doing what we can to ensure that they are not starving. and not freeezing to death. or dying of disease due to the conditions of the camps along the border. We bear that responsibility not only because of what we did in the Persian Gulf but because of why we did it.
