Douglas, in any such conflict, the United States is presented with the question of whether it is more analogous to the colonial rebellion upon which the nation was founded, or the secession that Lincoln frustrated. I agreed with George Bush at the time, who was against precipitous action in Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, fearing the bloodshed that might ensue. However, given the primitive and chauvinistic character of Serbian nationalism, and the authoritarian stamp of the emerging Serb- dominated Yugoslavia, I can hardly blame the various republics for wanting to get out while the situation was still fluid. Comparing the situation in Texas with the situation in Bosnia is so ludicrous, I can hardly believe that you offered it up....

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
