I am not convinced that exercising United States leadership and deploying NATO ground forces in support of a peace agreement that partitions Bosnia is the best or only option. We need to know: will American Forces be the guarantors of ethnic cleansing? Will they be used to prevent Moslem refugees from returning to their homes in what becomes the Bosnian Serb Republic? With respect to the peace settlement. the administration must be able to ensure that any peace reached is a stable and sustainable peacethat there are defensible borders. that the Bosnian Government structure is viable. that this is not just the first step toward a greater Serbia. If there is a genuine peace. there is a real question why tens of thousands of peacekeepers. including Americans. are needed?
