SENATOR JOE BIDEN, just back from a visit to the former Yugoslavia, is preparing a memo for President Clinton that suggests one way the U.S. could justify the unilateral use of force against the Serbs. Biden plans to tell the President that because U.N. resolutions permit "all necessary means" to deliver humanitarian aid to Bosnia, the Serbian gunners who threaten aid convoys are fair targets for American bombs. Biden will also suggest that the U.S. should abandon the arms embargo against Bosnia, thus literally giving the Serbs' victims more of a fighting chance. As one member of Biden's staff who accompanied him on his trip put it, "We couldn't find a single Bosnian who, given a choice between U.N. forces remaining and lifting the arms embargo, preferred the U.N."
