A historical and imbued with hubris of our unchallengeable power, our
leaders confidently marched from the Balkan mountains into the Middle East
deserts. From Sarajevo and Kosovo into Kabul and Baghdad.
Nonetheless, Vladimir Putin's Russia is different now; China is different
now; the Middle East has been different and more complex than the Balkans.
And, regretfully, being weakened in many respects, we are now also different
, but for the worse.
But have we learnt anything? No, we have not.
We have overlooked or have misunderstood the basic lessons from the Yugoslav
experience and example.
Determined to build a new world order in the course of the past two decades,
America has continued to conduct its foreign policy affairs without regard
for historical lessons, experiences and realities specific for the regions
and people involved, as well as for some quintessential principles rooted in
moral values we are purported to champion and represent. |
