A i think we should remind ourselves. That military intervention is about getting killed a said sir Arthur Hockaday of the Council on Christian approaches to defence and disarmament in London. The conference is a privately organized discussion of defense issues. Participants include top military and government officials scientists journalists and think tank members from mostly Western countries. The discussion of rules of intervention followed a speech by nato Secretary general Manfred Worner. He said the Quot policy of nato during the cold War was simple but it is now Complex. A a to intervene or not to intervene if so when where and How and at what Cost a he asked. A it is hardly surprising that these dilemmas Are today taxing the moral and political resources of the democracies in a Way quite unknown during the cold War a if the West fails to secure its defense and allows regional conflicts to grow beyond their Borders he said there will be no one else to blame. A if we fail it is our fault a he said. A it will be seen As a Lack of leadership and lord younger of Prestwick chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland said he did not think governments As a whole have faced up to those questions. A a there a always a great Hope that conflict will solve itself or someone else will step in a he said. Kim Campbell the Canadian defense minister said that Worner a discussion of rules of intervention hit at the heart of the matter of peacekeeping efforts. A without dear principles of engagement there simply will not be the political support in the democracies a she said. Brian by Cham of the economist a London newspaper said the Western world is not ready to Deal with regional conflicts such As the one in Bosnia and Herzegovina because it underestimated the disintegrative effects of communism a collapse. Now he said instead of one Large problem we face Many Small ones. A we need to know the criteria for when we should intervene a he said. But he added it is necessary to intervene in some although certainly not All conflicts. A a if we fail to Deal with any of them the Agenda will expand rapidly a he said. A if we Deal with some of the items the Agenda will shrink. Such is the Power of Hockaday said countries with conscripted armies face their own dilemma. He used As an example the american draft dodgers during Vietnam who might have served had they been convinced that their county s interests were clearly at stake. A it is certainly possible that it May become necessary to intervene in Bosnia beyond the humanitarian Aid a he said.
