Jedna cinjenica se ne moze pobiti... njegov rad na potpisivanju Daytona i uspostavi mira je doveo do toga da meni prestanu zvizdati meci i granate oko glave. Za to mu mogu samo reci jedno velika hvala i pozeljeti mu da pociva u miru.
Sigurno je da je rat, ako ne zapocet, onda podrzavan od svjetskih sila iz samo njima znanih razloga. Vrijeme ce pokazati svoje i istina ce prije ili kasnije isplivati na povrsinu, kao sto isplivava kroz razna sudjenja i biografije. Jedno je sigurno - Holbrooke nije imao toliko uticaja da bi mogao orkestrirati pocetak i razvoj rata u BiH... kao sto neko rece, nije on cetnicima usadio ideologiju, podijelio kame i oruzje i nahuskao ih na njihove komsije, vec je to problem koji prodire puno puno dublje.
Za kraj, par odlomaka iz clanka koji je Holbrooke 2005. napisao o Bosni:
"If you wonder whether the 1995 American intervention in Bosnia was the right decision, go to a really horrible place, one whose name has become synonymous with genocide and Western failure. Go to Srebrenica."
"It is by now universally understood that a great crime was committed in Srebrenica. As assistant secretary of state for European affairs at the time, I argued, unsuccessfully, that we needed NATO airstrikes to stop the Bosnian Serbs -- bullies who preferred long-range artillery and short-range murder to anything resembling a real military operation. But Britain, France and the Netherlands had troops deployed, as part of the United Nations' peacekeeping force, in three extremely exposed enclaves in eastern Bosnia, including Srebrenica. Facing the brutal threats of Mladic, they refused to consider airstrikes until the Dutch troops were ignominiously escorted out of Srebrenica. By then it was too late."

Jos jednom, pocivaj u miru i hvala.

Bosna ti je centar univerzuma ...
Ja sam to znao jos prije nego sto ce biti potpisana Dejtonska kapitulacija. Steta sto jos ima ljudi koji nemaju dovoljno umne snage da to shvate ali stas, znas kako se kaze budala i kamenja nikad nece nestati.
