Their other crime happened to be that they were Muslims. So they were ethnically cleansed. which meant that they were either killed or driven out. I ask us to remember Srebrenica. crowded with refugees. whose only crime really was to have taken the U.N. seriously when the U.N. said that Srebrenica would be a safe haven. but. of course. they also happened to be Muslims. They. 8.000 men and boys. every male in that community. when it was overrun. was slaughtered like pigs in a stockyard. I ask us to remember that Milosevic signed the Dayton Accords in 1995. after it was clear that the tide was running against him. That has been a remarkably successful deployment as peacekeeping. The only area. the major area. where it has been unsuccessful is because Milosevic has violated all of the terms of the Dayton Accords that related to allowing refugees to return. I ask us to remember that Milosevic signed agreements in regard to Kosovo only four months ago and has violated every one of those agreements. There is no difference between the policy that the Milosevic regime has put forward either before or after those signings back in October. So there have been thousands of people killed and another 400.000 refugees have been sent around in various places in Europe. It is that history. that history of dealing with this what my ranking member on the Committee on Appropriations called the psychopathic. psychotic. one of those words. whichever one it was. nature of the leader that we are dealing with. With all of that history. it is the contact powers that have come together and empowered NATO. suggested that they go in and create an atmosphere for peace.
