This resolution would bar the introduction of ground forces from Kosovo and the rest of Yugoslavia. Why is such a course preferable? Because once having initiated hostilities. even if it was a policy based on flawed premises. we cannot simply walk away and wash our hands of the problem. The bombing has created certain facts: for our own policy. the perception of Yugoslavian government. and not least for the refugees. At the same time. however. we should avoid military escalation in a region where the only rational and durable solutions are political in nature. I use the term "escalation" with good reason. because the parallels with Vietnam are striking.
