SV PUL OUT LV UNITED STATES PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WALKING TO LECTERN AT THE START OF HIS REMARKS AND ACKNOWLEDGING APPLAUSE 1.26 6. MCU (English) CLINTON SAYING: "The United States, as the largest and strongest country in the world at this moment -- largest in economic terms and military terms -- has the unavoidable responsibility to lead in this increasingly interdependent world to try to help meet the challenges of this new era. Clearly, our first challenge is to build a more peaceful world, one that will apparently be dominated by ethnic and religious conflicts we once thought of primitive, but which Senator Moynihan, for example, has referred to now as post-modern. We know that we cannot stop all such conflicts, but when the harm is great and when our values and interests are at stake, and when we have the means to make a difference, we should try. That is what we and are our NATO allies are doing in Kosovo, trying to end the horrible war there, trying to aid the struggling democracies of southeastern Europe, all of whom are threatened by the violence, the hatred, the human exodus (Yugoslavian) President (Slobodan) Milosevic's brutal campaign has unleashed. We are determined to stay united and to persist until we prevail. It is not enough now for Mr. Milosevic to say now that his forces will cease-fire in Kosovo, denied its freedom and devoid of its people. He must withdraw his forces, let the refugees return, permit the deployment of an international security force. Nothing less will bring peace with security to the people of Kosovo." 3.21 7.
