The role of the NATO Implementation Force (IFOR] is to give them that chance. by creating a secure environment in which the many tasks set forth in the agreement can be pursued. But if the United States does not participate in that NATO force. after the parties have signed up to an agreement we urged upon them. with the expectation that we would participate. then the war will resume and probably spread. More civilians will be killed. tortured. and ethnically cleansed in a renewed war. More refugees will be displaced and dispersed throughout Europe. As President Clinton said last month: If were not there. NATO will not be there.
