Read the passage from President Bush’s 1991 speech describing relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. Europe has become whole and free, and America’s leadership was instrumental in making it possible.

Our relationship to the Soviet Union is important, not only to us but to the world. That relationship has helped to shape these and other historic changes. . . .

. . . We will maintain our contact with the Soviet leadership to encourage continued commitment to democratization and reform.

–George Bush,
1991

People who agreed with Bush would most likely have recommended

sending troops to hasten the breakup of Yugoslavia.
keeping East and West Germany as separate nations.
supporting Gorbachev’s policies of perestroika and glasnost.
encouraging the breakup of the Soviet Union.
