Speech #1060019760

At times. however. there are moments amongst the despair of the present which speak to the potential optimism of the future. In the camp I visited is a field hospital operated by the Israeli military. Since the refugees began arriving. the Israeli doctors and nurses have delivered 6 babies. I pray. Mr. President. that these 6 infants will not know the horrors of ethniccleansing and hatred their parents have fled. Rather. may they grow up in the spirit of understanding and respect for each other which drives these Jewish doctors to care for mostly Muslim refugees. If there is any doubt in anyones mind about whether or not we were trying to do the right thing as a nation and as a group of nations under the alliance of NATO. I promise my colleagues that had they been with me last Saturday. seen what I saw. and talked to the people that I talked to. there would be absolutely no disagreement in this Chamber about whether or not the United States and NATO were taking the right course of action.
