I want peace. I have indicated over and over again that we must have peace. but we must have peace with justice. We must have peace for the 37.000 refugees in Montenegro. the 260.000 refugees in Albania and the 120.000 in Macedonia. We must have peace for those in the former Yugoslavia. So a declaration of war is not. I believe. in the best interests of the United States of America. the best interests of those refugees who are looking to go home. and the best interests of us trying to force or bring about a real peace. We have only declared war in not more than 5 conflicts in our history: The War of 1812. the war with Mexico in 1846. the war with Spain in 1898. the First World War and the Second World War. I do believe that the Presidents hands must not be tied.
