Speech #1030032800

They have been short. however. on any course of action to be proposed by the President. They have also been lacking any discussion of how a majority of the people of the United States are to be persuaded to follow that course of action. and lacking any definite discussion of the policy goals which each of these many options are designed to attain. To the best of my understanding. one potential course of action would simply be to stop the fighting and protect civilians now being bombarded in various Muslim enclaves--a course of action which. of course. would reward Serbian aggression and leave Western Europe with hundreds of thousands of Bosnian refugees. A second course of action would be to crowd the Bosnian Serbs into approving the VanceOwen plan and. thereafter. send American troops to enforce the hundreds of miles of internal borders which would be established by that plan. a plan which would also reward aggression. though not so blatantly as would a ceasefire in place. A third potential course of action less discussed by members of the administration is the punishment for that Serbian aggression in a decisive fashion. which would result in its not being rewarded in any respect whatsoever.
