“I have said this 38,000 times: … This tragedy is not something that can be settled from the outside, and it’s about damn well time that everybody understood that.” — Lawrence Eagleburger, 1992

Then-Secretary of State Eagleburger spoke some hard truths about the Bosnian War. One year into that conflict, he observed: “Until the Bosnians, Serbs and Croats decide to stop killing each other, there is nothing the outside world can do about it.”
