In this war. our humanitarian effort unfortunately has failed the Kosovars and failed the allies miserably. And now. like a desperate gambler who will not acknowledge their losses. we are thinking. if we can just gamble a little more. if we can just bomb a week longer. if only we can send in Apache helicopters. if only we put American ground troops in. just one more roll. just one more gamble. and perhaps we can win it all back. Well. we cannot win back the lives of the Kosovars that have been lost and we cannot bring back together the refugee families that have been torn apart. But surely we can save the hopes and dreams of Americans and allied soldiers whose lives have yet to be gambled with. A short walk from this Chamber. the Vietnam War Memorial lies half buried. silent. below the green grass of the national Mall.
