This century has been the bloodiest in history. The world's democracies must stand against his bloody repression, if we hope to deter other tyrants from engaging in ethnic slaughter. Thus, I believe our actions in Kosovo are morally and legally justifiable. In Kosovo there are no clear answers, no good options. But to do nothing in the face of Milosevic's barbarity would be barbarous itself.
History shows that strife in the Balkans, left unchecked, spreads dangerously.
Kosovo is in our interest. Some see Kosovo as another Vietnam. I see it as another Cambodia. Let us learn the lessons of those killing fields, and not allow our belated or inadequate response to compound the tragedies. The lack of a perfect choice is not an excuse to take no action.
