My only regret is that our actions have been less effective than I had hoped: over a million humans. mostly women and children. uprooted from their homes. hundreds of thousands expelled from their country. and their homes and villages burned: women raped. thousands of the residents killed. and children separated from their families. The catalog of these atrocities expands every single day. Just last week. the Serb paramilitaries in southern Kosovo reportedly forced between 100 and 200 young men from a convoy of refugees heading for the border. took them into a nearby field. made them drop to their knees. and summarily executed them. leaving their bodies there as a warning to their fellow refugees. The catalog of horror goes on and on and on. I met a woman from Kosovo in my office on Friday with a businessman. They told me of four little children they had met in a refugee camp. The children had bandages over their eyes. They thought perhaps they had been near an explosion.
