As I interpret their remarks. they are saying that the issue before us today is really a moral question: "By what right does the United States prevent Bosnia from defending itself?" Every nation. every people has the ultimate right to defend their land. their homes. their families from aggression. Instead of stopping this war. this embargo has simply shifted the balance toward the Serbs and against the Moslems. It can be argued that by keeping this stranglehold on Bosnia. we have been the silent partners in the Serbs aggression. Oh. the United States has promised over and over that we would save Bosnia. But 200.000 deaths later and some 2 million refugees later. the United States has done nothing to save Bosnia. The United Nations has been useless. NATO has been impotent. and we have collaborated with the Western European Powers in the slow strangulation of Bosnia.
