Mr. Speaker, I often agree with the general premise the chairman of our foreign affairs committee puts forward and certainly the last one regarding the rebuilding that will be necessary.
I also agree with him that if we rebuild the infrastructure and we build the economic well-being of the people in Serbia and Kosovo that we probably can create a peaceful situation. The problem with that whole thing is it is like Haiti and other areas which we have discussed. We know if we have a 30 to 50 year plan of rebuilding and reconstruction from the grassroots up, including the education system, the hospitals and all that goes with that, that we probably could accomplish it.
The problem is dollars and the commitment of any government anywhere in the world to 30 to 50 years of rebuilding. Does the member really believe we can assure the people of Serbia, as he mentioned, or the people of Kosovo, that we will be that committed?
