If successfully implemented and coupled with the arming and training of the Bosnian Moslems before IFOR departs. the agreement holds a promise. in the long run. of ending the violence that has terrorized the people of Bosnia. The alternative is unacceptableto let the war resume. If the international community does not step in now. it is obvious that more lives will be lost and more refugees will be displaced. and there will be more bloodshed and carnage. and Americas credibility as an international leader is also on the line. Our leadership brought the parties to the negotiating table. and our leadership was requested by those parties to help enforce the agreement. I understand the view that the Congress should have been consulted more closely before the decision to send troops was made.
