Only a week ago, Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic had signed the Vance- Owen peace plan. Just as Secretary of State Warren Christopher switched gears in Europe, from lobbying allies on a plan to bomb the Serbs to discussing the formation of a U.N. peacekeeping force, the Bosnian Serb parliament scuttled Vance-Owen, 51-2. All the disagreements that a peace plan might have papered over were back. France and Britain, with...
