Mr. Speaker. tonight we are defining who America is and who we will be in the 21st century. Clearly we are a blessed Nation. protected on both sides by oceans. rich with natural resources. and. more importantly. rich with the diversity of immigrants driven by their pioneer spirit. But to whom much is given. much must be expected. The Bosnians have cried out for American involvement for three and a half years. partly because we have more military capability than all the nations of Europe combined. But. far more importantly. they look to us because of our heroic character because they know that it was Americas heart that saved Europes soul. because they know that it was our grandfathers and our fathers who were willing to risk their lives. not for any selfish materialistic cause. but for the noblest of reasons. for the cause of human freedom. democracy. justice. and religious and ethnic tolerance.
