I was. in August 1992. at a conference in Austria with several European members of Parliament. At that time. I had also just come from visiting Croatia. and had been to the front and visited with refugees that had streamed out. with those that had been victims. and with those that had witnessed the terrible situation with respect to the raping of women. and the deaths of many males which had occurred as a result of the Serb intrusion inLo the villages and homes of the Bosnian Moslems and Croats. When I was at that conference. the Chancellor of Austria was present. And I asked the ChancellorI said. "Why is it not imperative. and certainly rational. for the European Community to step in and stop the fighting ii. some way?" He looked at me and he said. "Well. we cannot get involved because they are both our friends." I started to think about that at that conference.
