The people of Kosovo, Serb and Albanian, have a right to live free from fear, to speak the language they choose, to live in peace and dignity. We, the people of a nation thousands of miles away, cannot turn our backs on them, wash our hands and say this is not our business. We cannot, like the Senator from the State of Washington, dismiss this as a three-thousand year old civil war in which we have no place. War is not a genetic state of the Balkan people. It does not grow naturally from the Balkan soil.
Human beings make war.
They make weapons, they build armies. It takes work. But bombs do not bring peace. Bombs bring only death, destruction, despair. Bombs and armies only subdue, only conquer.
