espite some political huff-
ing and puffing, the Re-
publican-led Congress is
likely to endorse President
Bill Clinton's plan to send 20,000
American soldiers to Bosnia as
part of a NATO peacekeeping
force.
The lack of effective opposition
on Capitol Hill — despite months
of dire warnings about the risks
of a Bosnian deployment — sug-
gests the nation's political leaders
understand the vital role in peace-
making and peacekeeping that
only the United States can play.
It is a development that has at-
tracted the keen interest of Israeli
officials here beacuse it could have
important implications if Israel's
renewed effort to generate a
breakthrough in the stalled talks
with Syria bears fruit in the com-
ing months.
When President Clinton an-
nounced his decision to send
American forces to Bosnia as part
of the peace agreement negotiat-
ed in Dayton two weeks ago, Re-
publican leaders found themselves
in a quandary.
Some rightly point out that the
agreement does nothing to damp-
en the ethnic hatreds in the for-
mer Yugoslavia, animosities that
even a half-century of iron Com-
munist rule could not diminish.
In fact, the divvying up of territo-
ry will likely add new layers to a
conflict that has produced sav-
agery on a mass scale.
American troops will be in the
middle of that age-old tribal bat-
tleground.
Others suggest that peace-
keeping operations, by their na-
ture, tend to be open-ended;
although the administration
hopes to present a coherent "exit
strategy" for removing the soldiers
after a finite period of time, cir-
cumstances could easily extend
that commitment.
And critics warn that the com-
batants in the former Yugoslavia
have honed their skills in guerril-
la warfare and terrorism over the
generations, modes of fighting
that tend to reduce the techno-
logical advantage of American
forces.
But weighing heavily on the
other side of the equation is this:
Without the U.S.-brokered agree-
ment, there would be no chance
for peace in Bosnia, in a region
lArhere a broader conflagration
would clearly harm our national
interests. And there would be no
agreement without American
-troops, a tangible symbol of the
commitment of the world's only
-remaining superpower. . .
Republican leaders, despite an
almost reflexive desire to oppose
anything proposed by President
Bill Clinton, recognize that fact.
Even those who remain skeptical
understand that opposition could
produce heavy political costs if the
deployment is thwarted and the
Bosnian butchery resumes.
Many of the same conditions
will apply if this country is called
on to provide troops to monitor a
Syrian-Israeli peace accord.
That issue has already gener-
ated sound and fury on Capitol
Hill, despite the long deadlock that
has kept Israel and Syrian nego-
tiators apart. Earlier this year,
right-wing Jewish groups and con-
servative legislators, convinced
that a secret deal between Dam-
ascus and Jerusalem was immi-
nent, staged a preemptive attack
designed to convince legislators
that sending American forces to
the region would be dangerous fol-
ly.
Many were opposed to the en-
tire Middle East peace process,
and regarded the peacekeeping is-
sue as their best weapon to limit
the Rabin government's options
as it looked for ways to unblock
the Syrian talks.
But others opposed a possible
Golan deployment because of a be-
lief that the use of troops for
vaguely defined peacekeeping du-
ties is the riskiest of military ven-
tures. Still others jumped on the
anti- peacekeeping bandwagon for
purely political reasons; accord-
ing to the polls, a restive, angry
electorate has little interest in
American involvement in peace-
keeping or anything else outside
our borders.
The Golan debate fizzled when
it became apparent that the Syr-
ian- Israeli talks were on the fast.
track to nowhere.
But in recent days,Israeli prime •
Minister Shimon Peres has of-
fered the outlines of a new plan
for the Syrian negotiations that
would include new concessions on
the question of on-the-ground Is-
raeli monitoring forces on the
Golan Heights. One proposed al-
ternative is a more extensive role
by an international peace moni-
toring force that would, by defin-
ition, include American troops.
That will quickly rekindle the
debate over Golan peacekeepers,
here and in Israel.
But what the Bosnian deploy-
ment showed was this: When pre-
sented with a real choice, and not
just hypothetical situations, Con-
gress is not ready to abandon a
strong American role in peace-
making, despite the political and
