But even that number may not be enough to effectively carry on the work of the U.S. led military - -- coalition. The U.N. mission could succeed, according to most veteran aid workers, but there are a couple of big ifs: If the Security Council breaks tradition and gives them a mandate that permits them to move aggressively against Somali warlords who step out of line, and to shoot first if threatened. If they are intelligently led. mission equipped with and arplanes helicopters, mored vehicles. If they are not spread out evenly across all of Somalia, a country about the sie of Texas, but concern rated in areas of d and adequately greatest need. The I'.N. peacekeepers will take oer from the Americans and 23 allied nations who have scnl troops to protect food meant for the starving from falling into the hands of thieves. The takeover will permit the United States to w ithdraw about 20.(XK) of its men and women, leaving an estimated 4.000 behind to help handle logistics and other support tasks for the U.N. force. But Ismat Kittani. the U.N. special envoy, said the peacekeepers will be responsible for all of Somalia. The U.N. mancoalidate of the American-le- d tion confines it to the southern half of the country, where the famine, clan fighting, looting and anarchy arc the worst. "Peacekeeping is not what this country requires, it's peacemaking," said Mike McOon-agh- . head of the Dublin-borIrish Concern in Somalia.

"I worked in Cambodia for 0 seven months and I saw the he peacekeepers there," said. "They've been made idi17,-00- ots of" by the Communist Khmer Rouge "kidnapped 10, 12, 14 at a time. They can't even defend themselves." McDonagh's thoughts were echoed by Siefaluziz Milas, a Mozambican sociologist "Given the proper terms of reference, I think 20.000 would be enough," Milas said. "But they'll need the right equipment, particularly helicopter gunships. "The principal battle machine of the warlords is the technical," Milas said, referring to civilian vehicles, usually trucks and pickups, mounted w ith machine guns and light artillery. "The helicopter gunship can make a technical a highly undesirable vehicle," Milas noted. a retired Rhodri Wynn-PopBritish army major who now runs CARE International's Somali operation, also argued for e, strong, continued American inmisvolvement, a sion for the peacekeepers and the same rules of engagement the U.S. and its allies now emwell-defin- ed ploy. "The question is. do you have a credible deterrence and are you willing to use it?" said. "The AmeriWynn-Pop- e cans proved from day one that they were willing to zap anyone w ho strayed out of line. "If the U.N. force is seen as purely defensive, we're going to lose the momentum we've been given by the Americans," he said. "It needs to be able to take aggressive action in support of a policy of impartiality and contain the militia forces in the country.

Clinton, Mulroney disagree over peace effort By TERENCE HUNT AP White House Correspondent - WASHINGTON President Clinton, in his first White House meeting with a foreign leader, disagreed Friday with Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney over a peace proposal for w ar-tor- n Bosnia. Mulroney embraced the outlines of a peace plan offered by international envoys Cyrus R. Vance and Lord David Owen. He said it represented "a lot of constructive work" and offered the "elements of an agreement." Clinton, however, said he was reluctant to endorse the accord because the United States did not want "to impose an agreement on the parties to which they do not agree." He said Muslims in Bosnia "might be left at a severe disadvantage if the agreement is not undertaken in good faith by the other parties and cannot be enforced externally." The Vance-Owe- n plan would divide Bosnia into 10 provinces linked to a weak central government. The United States objects that the plan would not reverse the "ethnic that Bosnian cleansing" campaign Serbs have carried out for almost a year'against their ethnic rivals. Another U.S. complaint is that American military forces would be required to enforce the plan. Clinton and Mulroney agreed that the peace process would be enhanced by greater involvement by Russian President Boris Yeltsin. The distinction of being Clinton's first visiting foreign leader was reserved for Mulroney in recognition of his country's status as America's neighbor and largest trading partner. "Our steadfast relationship w ith Canada is an indispensable element" of the continuity of U.S. foreign policy, Clinton said. Mulroney, standing alongside Clinton at a farewell ceremony after three hours of talks, seemed almost to lecture the new president about the importance of good relations with Canada. "The relationship is, by far, the most important one the United States has in the world," said Mul- - Bosnian envoy stands firm against mediated peace plan By GEORGE GEDDA Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Bosnian Foreign Minister Haris said Friday his government cannot accept a peace plan for his homeland worked out by international mediators unless it is significantly changed. As a first step toward peace, Silajdzic recommended that a deadline be imposed on Serbian forces to surrender their weapons to international control, a move that he said would create a more equitable negotiating climate. If the Serbs refuse to meet the deadline, "you bomb them," he said, suggesting that the task be assigned to the NATO allies. Such a strategy would be far preferable to the appeasement policies which he said are now being pursued by peace negotiators. Silajdzic, who spoke to a gathering sponsored by the human rights group Amnesty International, assailed what he described as the insensitivity European countries to the slaughter in his country. Besides an estimated 18,000 killed, more than 1 million people have been displaced from their homes by the conflict. Frequently lacing his remarks with sarcasm, Silajdzic was especially critical of the British. "At one stage," he said, "the British government labored about two weeks on an issue involving six refugees. That is an indication of the spirit of the establishment in Eu- rope." He also said that the European Community's special envoy for Bosnia, Lord David Owen, has been guilty of "incredible arrogance" in carrying out his duties. The United States has withheld an endorsement of the peace plan, which Owen has helped to formulate with the U.N. special envoy for Bosnia, Cyrus Vance. The Clinton administration has resisted European pressure to adopt the plan partially out of deference to the Bosnian Muslims, who control what is left of a central government in Bosnia. One U.S. complaint is that the plan does not reverse the Serbian campaign to drive ethnic rivals from their homes the practice known as "ethnic cleansing." The Vance-Owe- n plan also would divide Bosnia into 10 semi-autonomo- provinces linked to a weak central government. The provinces would be divided largely along ethnic lines. Silajdzic said the whole appremise of the Vance-Owe- n proach was flawed because the negotiators felt the "aggressor must be appeased to stop doing what he is doing. "The plan makes no difference between victim and aggressor. The plan defeats the democratic process and encourages the nationalist forces. It clearly makes the ethnic division the most important one. "That is the wrong way. That is going back into the 18th Century. It's kind of a approach by the (British) Foreign Office and other offices in Europe. They think democracy is too much for Bosneo-co-lon- nia." Both leaders stressed the imroney, who was a close friend of both Ronald Reagan and George portance of free trade, and Clinton Bush. "This is the biggest trading reiterated his support for a North relationship ever between two na- tions." Clinton promised to give a high priority to economic ties with Canada but said "some disagreement even among close partners" seems inevitable. American Free Trade Agreement, including Canada, the United States and Mexico. However, Clinton again said he will push for supplemental agreements on environmental and labor problems w ith Mexico. With Canada taking a growing role in global affairs, Mulroney "We certainly will take into account what the prime minister has said. Then we'll announce it as clearly and forcefully and follow it as strongly as we possibly can." President Clinton said his talks with Clinton "covered a lot of hot spots around the world." ' Both leaders expressed determination to see the return of democ- racy to Haiti, where President Aristide was deposed in a coup two years ago. "The United States and Canada should be and are one in our commitment to restoring democracy to Haiti," Clinton said. "And we will continue to push ahead, either on the course we're now on, or if that fails, on a more vigorous course toward that end." Jean-Bertra- Separately, Secretary of State Warren Christopher raised the possibility that hemispheric sanctions against Haiti may be tightened following fruitless talks aimed at deploying human rights observers on the island. On Bosnia, Clinton said the United States was giving the crisis urgent consideration and was reviewing options. "We certainly will take into account what the prime minister has said." He said the United States needs a few more days to develop its stand. "Then we'll announce it as clearly and forcefully and follow it as strongly as we possibly can." On the Middle East, Mulroney said Israel should be permitted to make its own security decisions withjut coaching from outsiders. "My own view is that we tend not to try and give Israel lessons in regard to the determinations it has to make about its own national security," Mulroney said.
