Fourth, in regard to this point, let us not let this discussion detract from the legitimate need to take into account the security concerns of Rwanda and Uganda. Those are legitimate, although the explosion of fighting in Kisangani, which had nothing to do with those needs, was extraordinarily lamentable. Mr. President, all of this should be done to strengthen Lusaka. Let us recall again that this is not an outside-imposed agreement, but an African initiative, one that is, as Salim Salim put it, an African solution to an African problem. There are some, Mr. President, who say that Congo's struggle and the slow process of Lusaka, somehow prove that in some places, failure is certain.

I heard this in Bosnia. I heard it in Kosovo. I heard it in Vietnam, and in an earlier era, we heard it in regard to the great European powers, who are finally, after a century of brutality, putting their internal differences behind them so that wars today in the central part of Europe, once so common, are no longer possible. And I hope that we will see in our lifetime and our professional career, the leaders of Africa reach the same level of achievement. If they do so, they will have done it much faster than the Europeans.
