The Senator from Kentucky is right. and there is a painful irony here. He is absolutely right both about our objectives on the ground and our objectives to maintain stability in the region which is being destabilized now by these large refugee flows. The victories. if one can call them that. that the tragic. brutal. barbaric victories that Milosevics forces have had over the Kosovars are hollow. They are barbaric because this was an armed force fighting against unarmed. undefended people. It is a question that will hang in the airand some later time we will come back to itwhat might have been different if. in fact. the KLA had been better armed at the outset of this a month or two or three ago. because I think that might have deterred. certainly delayed the massive exodus and slaughter that has been carried out against this undefended indigenous population.
