...DISCUSSED FOR YEARS. My mission has not changed, because I don't think the world has changed. In the beginning, I thought, Maybe my witness will be received, and things will change. But they don't. Otherwise we wouldn't have had Rwanda and Darfur and Cambodia and Bosnia. Human nature cannot be changed in one generation...
...from 1991 to 1999. But the memories of Europe's dark 20th century meant that there was little support, in any European country, for the use of force to impose a solution there. It was U.S. political will and air strikes from U.S. warplanes that ended the wars in Bosnia in 1995 and in Kosovo four years later.

...working as much in the uglier direction, toward war. The global village is really a large, disorderly global city, with many poor neighborhoods, a few that are rich and a number that are terribly dangerous. But as the Balkans reminded everyone, the global city has no police force. Bosnia has been a tragedy of peacemaking turned against itself: the U.N.'s lightly armed blue helmets became virtual hostages to the Serbs and an excuse for Europeans and Americans not to use real force lest the peacekeepers be hurt. The collapse of international law and civil behavior, and the failure...
