This plan was sold as the humanitarian option. The option that put the Bosnians interests first. The joint action plan committed the United States. Britain. France. Russia. and the European Union to the protection of six U.N.-designated safe havens and closing the borders between Serbia and Bosnia. There are those of us who urged the administration not to go along with this socalled plan. who warned that creating giant refugee camps with minimal defense would support Serbian war aims. We were ignored. I might say these suggestions came not just from this side but on both sides of the aisle.
