I'm not alluding to the government in any way but to the people who would love to sell you. It is such a horrible, horrible thought.
The other thing I took from your commentary here today is how you see yourself and how the people of this country see you as somewhat of--pardon the pun, it's not an intended one--a white knight. You are a person who puts a face to this from another country. The importance and the significance of that here today can't be overstated.
I want to commend Mr. Sweet for moving the acceptance of your resolution. I think it's important that this committee arm you not only with this resolution but also with a strong statement from the committee, aside from that resolution going forward, so that when you meet with government officials you'll be able to hand to them quite directly the commentary from our government and from this committee.
This is something that has to be wiped off the face of the earth. It is so reprehensible. In fact, as I think Madame Deschamps said, it defies understanding and acceptance. You know, committee members here are not that naive, but you struggle with even.... When you look at the pictures that you supplied to us of the child who was mutilated, you say to yourself, “How it is possible that a person, much less a segment of society, can do this?”
So I am really impressed with you, sir, and I just wanted to say so. Thank you very much for your good work.
