I came away from that experience understanding better the Holocaust. understanding what must have been in the minds of so many Jewish people at the end of World War II who said: We need Israel because we have nowhere to go. Everywhere we go. we have been persecuted. we have been killed. Now the Kosovar refugees ask the same question: Where shall we go? Our policy is to allow them to return to Kosovo. That is where they want to be. That is where they should be. We have said to Mr. Milosevic: Here is what we are asking of you. demanding of you: Remove your troops from Kosovo. allow the refugees to return in safety with an international force to protect them. and then we will negotiate the political status. I think that is sensible and humane. May I say a word. too. about Russia.
