I think there are many people in the the world who want to help, somehow, but don't know what they can do. The magnitude of the tragedy leaves people feeling helpless. They come to believe that they can do nothing, or at least nothing significant. I am as frustrated as other people, but I am hoping this conference may provide some light, for I would like most of all to do one thing, and that is, ask the people of the former Yugoslavia what it is that we in the rest of the world can do--to ease their suffering, to end the war. For four years now, diplomats and political leaders have failed at ending the war. Perhaps it is time to ask the people themselves. I encourage individuals living in the former Yugoslavia to email me, if only to speak about what it going on. Perhaps from dialogue some fresh ideas will appear. I look forward to "talking."

His discussion of the future map of Bosnia that he said Franjo Tudjman provided him ended with the statement that such a map in reality would be "intolerable." With that comment he did a great deal to restore - in the opinion of many of us here - British integrity and perhaps even something of the greatness that once was Britain. Whether Tudjman actually drew Ashdown such a map is really almost beside the point. What is important is that there are in fact people all over Serbia and Croatia who would be quite content with the geopolitical arrangement the map depicts. Ashdown is quite correct, though, in regarding such a possibility as "intolerable." If Croatia and Serbia ever actually did occupy Bosnia in that way - an action which would of course violate the UN charter and international law - it would only be a matter of time before those two countries were at each other's throats again. After digesting the conquest of Bosnia, each country would feel compelled to fight for supremacy in the Balkans. Many of us here hope we are wrong, but we do not see any other solution to the current situation in the Balkans than for a coalition of countries simply to impose peace in the region, by force, and then to search for political solutions that all the warring parties can agree on. Sincerely yours, Robert J. Bennett Munich
