First. with respect to Cambodia. in October 1991. the United States and Vietnam joined in a 17nation peace settlement for Cambodia. With this peace agreement. the Bush administration announced a fourphase plan or roadmap to gradually tear down nearly 17 years of economic and political isolation. President Bush correctly recognized that it is not easy to reverse 13 years of isolation with the stroke of a pen or a handshake. This is particularly true given the emotional feelings millions of Americans have toward this remote region. whether they are veterans. family and friends of fallen or missing veterans. or refugees from Vietnam. Therefore. President Bush cautiously moved away from isolationism.
