What we must do now iscome together in a unified effort to win this. to achieve our political and military goals. stop the slaughter. stop the butchery. allow the people of Kosovo to go back into their homes. maintain the stability of that part of the world. and allow for a political resolution to developnot one that we dictate. not one that NATO dictates. but the people of the Balkans. My colleagues this morning have referred to the outer rings of consequences here. the outer rings of instability. I believe that if this effort is not successful. not only are you destabilizing Central and Eastern Europe. you are taking away the opportunities those nations of Central and Eastern Europe have now. and the former republics of the Socialist Soviet Republic. for a chance to develop a democracy and individual liberties and a free market system. because you have destabilized the area for no other reason than you have brought a million refugees. displaced persons. into that part of the world where those nations and the infrastructures of those nations cannot possibly deal with that and. hence. destabilizing the very infrastructure we are trying to help. There are so many. many consequences that are attached to this one effort. I hope this resolution makes very clear. on a bipartisan basis. what we. as a Nation. as a member of NATO. as a member of the civilized world have at stake here and why it is important that we win this war.
