On May 22, 1995, fifteen months after Bosnian Serbs—bowing to an
ultimatum from Western leaders infuriated by the televised carnage of
sixty-eight dismembered bodies at Sarajevo's Markela marketplace—had

uniforms forced their way into a United Nations "weapons collection
point"...

Early one February afternoon in 1994, people in
Sarajevo shed their heavy coats and hats and poured out into streets and
markets, allowing themselves to forget, in the bright warming sun, that
from artillery bunkers and snipers' nests dug into hills and mountains

Our differences regarding enlargement do indeed remain deep,

syllogism" of European security.

I thought Mark Danner's essay, " Marooned
in the Cold War," made a strong case against NATO
enlargement, cogently presenting the negative arguments.

Scarcely two years ago, during the sweltering days of July 1995, any citizen
of our civilized land could have pressed a button on a remote control
and idly gazed, for an instant or an hour, into the jaws of a contemporary
Hell.

| COMMENTARY
I think I'd like to begin by asking about Iran-Contra the question the
Jesuits like to ask when they see a difficult problem, which is: What
is its quiddity? What is its "whatness"? What separates it from
everything else - in particular, from other scandals?

| COMMENT
Hypocrisy may be the mother's milk of politics,
but there are occasions -- the controversy now being manufactured in Congress

For besiegers of cities, a child is an especially lucrative target. If
the aim is to sow terror among those holding out behind the walls, how
better to do it than by murdering children?

Heading up into the mountains of Morazán, in the bright, clear

American lawyers, made his way slowly into the Capitol to meeting room
S-116, where a group of senators and staff assistants awaited him.
