Commentary on events at home <strong>and</strong> abroad By Caspar W. Weinberger, Cliaivinan AS THE U .N . PECEhBEPNG EFFORTS in Bosnia disappear into ignominy, it is apparent that bills designed to prevent U .S . involvement in this kind of fiasco must be passed <strong>and</strong> signed into law. Currently, there are bills before Congress requiring diat : (1) a President certify that the mission sen e the national securiryinterest before he can place U .S . forces under U .N . comm<strong>and</strong>; (2) Congress be told t;te purpose of such a mission, who else is taking part <strong>and</strong> wkat dac expected costs are ; <strong>and</strong> (3) America retain the right to withdraw its forces at any time <strong>and</strong> to take w hatever steps necessarv to protect them . If these requirements are met, a President can send troops to back up a U .N . mission . Yet the Clinton Adminisnztion has lened increasiuglv &antic charges that such proposals are isolationist <strong>and</strong> c otild . if implemented, m .vk the withdrawal of America fiom international activities of all kinds . The requirements in these bills essentially spell out what any President should specify before committing U .S . troops . If he cannot fulfill these requiremenzs, he should not commit our forces . The charge that these conditions constitute isolationism is not only maliciously ISOLATIONISM-OR COMMON SENSE? Refugees of Srehrenica : What must they think as the world watches <strong>and</strong> waits? foolish but also quite wrong . Isolationism is a totally flawed, impossibly NNrong policv . It would be turning our back on foreign events <strong>and</strong> retreating within what used to be called inculnerable "Fortress America ." Onlv a few fanatics propose a return to this ruinous policy . An accusation of isolationism is one of the cheapest <strong>and</strong> oldest political tricks, setting up a false association between P~publicanism <strong>and</strong> isolationism <strong>and</strong> then proceeding to attack as if the association were prm °en . The Administration's aim seems to be to enable the Pres ident to send U .S . troops to join so-called peacekeeping cfforts in hopeless situations where there is no peace . The aggressive arrogance with which the Serbs drove a few lightly armed U .N . peacekeepers from Srcbrcnica illustrates che absurd <strong>and</strong> highly dangerous missions to which brave -soldiers can be subjected . As the city came under attack <strong>and</strong> -some 30,000 Muslim civilians, along with dte peaeekeepers, were sent flecing north, the ailv punishment (after lC)ng negotiations) was another pinprick NATO air strike . Now- we have been promised `significant" air strikes if the Serbs attack Gorazde . Two days after this threat was made, the Serbs brazenly continued their heaw shelling of Sarajevo <strong>and</strong> Bihac <strong>and</strong> their ground attacks on Zepa, with no NATO response . It is not ket clear if U .N . civilian authority approval will be required to initiate strikes . If it is, the ne v threat will be as empty as all the others . Secretary General Boutros-Ghali, me :unvhile, has been in Afiica, demonstrating, as he said, that the crisis is overrated, making the battle for Srebrenica sound "like Stalingrad" A more likely explanation is that there are more votes in Afiica for his reelection than there are in Bosnia . The tragedv for Bosnia <strong>and</strong> for the bra\e U .N . soldiers there is that tltey oan do nothing to stop Serbian aggression . Mhen peacekeepers oet in the w °av of Serbia's \car plans, dte\, are brushed aside, jailed or chained to NATO targets . One «unders what tkotdd hase happened to Ku~sait if die West's oniv remed~had been using a U .N . peacekeeping force that had orders not to harm Saddam Hussein . President Bush's actions were the opposite of isolationism . The coalition of 30 nations that Bush put together, inspired be our decision to proceed alone if necessary, secured the defeat of Iraq . Nothing in the GOP bills would prevent any President from taking the same course . The Gulf «•as not a U .N . operation, <strong>and</strong> no one but Mr . Clinton would describe that cictorv as isolationism . There are two continuing problems : (I) the Clinton Administration's failure to exercise anv leadership in deterring Serbian aggression vvhile a1wa1•s seeking nmltilateral consensus ; <strong>and</strong> (2) the weakening of our armed forces through anemic budgeting, which, if continued for fi%e ntore pe :us, will make it impossible for us to take the type of effective action that ~~e took in the Gulf These problems are correctable, but not by Mr . Ciinton's frantic political attempts to raise the specter of isolationism against those who are trying to restrain the use of American forces in doomed <strong>and</strong> perilous efforts such as "peacekeeping" in Bosnia . Such restraint is not isolationism ; it is simple common sense. ~ r Forbes a August 14, 1995 http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/agf97d00/pdf 2046673290 33 ill fi ,
