Sounds like a man who was a true diplomat for peace for all people, all sides.

Are you kidding this guy was part of the reason thousands of women and children died in Yugoslavia. Also he supported the Afghanistan war but on his deathbed he pleaded for someone to get our country out of this war. He was a globalist who was responsibly engaged in much corruption. Peace was just a disguise! Sorry to be so blunt!!!

"Our" country?

I thought you were a New Zealander?

Yes..but I was quoting what he said and he is American :)

Thus the word "quote" in quote marks. If you're going to quote someone, you should use them.

Actually, Holbrooke didn't use the words "our country," so no, you weren't quoting him. What he said was "You've got to stop this war in Afghanistan."
