Mr. Speaker, the position of the government is very clear. We want Milosevic to make sure that his troops and his goons are no longer in Kosovo and that they will permit the return of the Kosovars to their homes. When Milosevic accepts these conditions, that will stop the bombing. Our position is very clear. We have to be effective as well. If we cannot use bombing it is better to stop. We want to use bombs to make sure Milosevic understands that we cannot tolerate what is going on in Yugoslavia at this time.
