I would hope that the Somalia experience would cause us to more carefully consider the policy decisions that put at risk the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces. I have been deeply moved. as has every other Member of the Senate. and indeed all Americans. by the suffering we have seen In Bosnia as a consequence of the hatreds and atrocities in that region. I have seen it in their faces. in the hospitals we visited and in the wanton destruction of the homes and propertieshomes which are so essential for the return of the many refugees. Senator KERREY and I witnessed. as we went through the villages. a row of houses. and one house with the geraniums out. the fresh laundry hanging out. and the house right next to it was flattened to the groundflattened because it was once occupied by a Serb. That Serb had fled this village where he or she or the family had lived for years with their neighbors. but they were forced to leave in the face of the Croatian military advance.
