Our goals were to be permitted to send young American men and women into the midst of a 600yearold civil strife in order to enforce an agreement that neither side wished. I also voted against that proposition. because it did not seem to me that the means were sufficient to gain even this questionable end. I voted against it. because it did not seem to me that the administration began to foresee the terrible consequences that would ensue if. and as President Milosevic has. accelerated his expulsion of Kosovars from their own homeland. or the refugee problem with which we would be faced. In other words. there were no contingency plans. At this point. almost 3 weeks later. all of those negative consequences have transpired.
