In that speech he called for a democracy corps in the former Soviet Union. more public diplomacy through an expansion of radio broadcasting in Asia. and a redirection and reorganization of foreign assistance. Saying that the world "is still a dangerous place." the speech declared that "military power still matters" and promised to maintain "a strong and ready defense." To be sure. that same speech offers a rationalization for selected activism by saying our commitment to democracy abroad might have to give way to "other security needs or economic interests" and that w- cannot "force every ideal. including the promotion of democracy. on other people." Now the time has come to translate that speech of commitment to the promotion of democracy. a commitment tempered by words of caution. into decisions. Decisions on Haitian immigrants. on the dictator in Baghdad. on the killing and rape in Bosnia. and on dozens of other difficult issues which cannot be put aside. Warren Christopher will be the translator of the commitments in that speech and some decisions will have to be made soon. I note that in reply to my question about the situation in Armenia.
