William Bulger’s embarrassingly evasive testimony before the U.S. House’s Government Reform Committee illustrated the root of the problem. When asked if he would want to see his brother brought to justice, Bulger could not answer in the affirmative. His numerous obfuscations and reliance on “memory lapses” in response to legitimate questions about contact with his brother—and steps taken to aid Whitey’s continued escape—were all too emblematic of his continued flouting of the law.

But it was the lack of U.S. and other major-power support for understaffed U.N. forces that was at the root of the failures that Elliott cited. U.S. pressure in the Security Council to withdraw rather than enlarge the U.N. peacekeeping forces in Rwanda contributed to the severity of the massacre. The Dutch peacekeepers who failed to act in Bosnia did not have adequate support or a mandate from the five permanent...
