We know darned well that in Bosnia, certain governments and the secretary had said tens of thousands are needed in Srebrenica and those people were never provided.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You need massive recruitment to tell the poorest of the poor what is possible.
If it wasn't for the military I probably would not have ever come to Bosnia for vacation.
Well, let's assume the world is linear. If we required a certain amount of troops per 25,000 population in the Balkans, if the world is not radically different, something of the same extent is going to be needed in Iraq.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
I think no one could have made peace in Bosnia besides Holbrooke.
I never wanted an independent Bosnia. I wanted Yugoslavia. That is my country.
Yet, only years after the Nazi-era, millions were sent to their deaths in places such as Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda, and the world once again took too long to act.
The Second World War claimed tens of millions of victims.
I am hopeful that no one will forget what happened in Bosnia.
In Rwanda that genocide happened because the international community and the Security Council refused to give, again, another 5000 troops which would have cost, I don't know, maybe fifty, a hundred, million dollars.
