...they did. Under the wings of the doctrines expounded by Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic about the need "to defend the Western borders of Orthodox Christianity" right here, in Bosnia, the Russians managed to assume a position they had only been dreaming about for a long time. And what's more, they have also finally gained access to the "warm sea," the Adriatic. Most ironically, they gained the moral upper hand, to the detriment of NATO, which forfeited any of the moral stature it might have once held...
...tell the world that we are far from happy and that we are not optimists at all? On the contrary, we're desperate because of the obvious fact that, once again, nothing will be done. Again, the cunning Serb President Slobodan Milosevic, along with Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, will just take advantage of the situation for the umpteenth time to prepare new fortifications.

Serbs, Croats and Muslims will only be moved by the feeling that the world stands against any side that might prolong the conflict...
...Angeles, where Warren Christopher worked for decades as a highly successful lawyer, but it works less well in the Hobbesian jungle where U.S. foreign policy faces considerable challenges. Which ruthless leaders are actually sorry about mistaking Christopher's courtly bearing for lack of resolve? Not Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, whose forces are bombarding Sarajevo; not Haitian strongman Raoul Cedras, whose thugs are thumbing their nose at the U.S.; not General Mohammed Farrah Aidid, the clan boss ravaging Mogadishu...
