former yugoslavia. we are learning this is hard. i think what we forget -- and i am as guilty as anyone -- we say we did nothing. we sat back and watched. i do not think that is right. i think we took very active participation. and it makes us uncomfortable. one of the first things we did in early april, we got the ex pats out. "f you want, "ghosts of rwanda, "triumph of evil." videos.ne" you can see the british and french military going through andcountryside of rwanda saving westerners. we intervened in rwanda. white westerners out. we got the black westerners out. it is important. but when the dutch are killed, we go from a mission of 2500 u.n. peacekeepers and dallaire is screaming he wants to intervene in this crisis -- as the crisis escalates, we deescalate. we get out. we consider nonmilitary options. but as you know this genocide is only able to take place at such an intense level so quickly -- the radio. a simple thing we could have done is shut down the radio. why didn't we? tom, do you want to jump in or not? please, tom.

more importantly the creation of new states, the baltic state, finland, poland, czechoslovakia, yugoslavia and, of course, turkey and the states of the middle east to name just a few. leading to colokocollikocolonkih led to india, which was important to the british empire and of course important to the second world war. i'm a cultural historian so i'm interested in the arts during the war and right after the war. we all know the war poets. we know brook and owen, sassoon and, of course, the prose literature is equally as rich. robert graves in england, eric partridge, vera briton's testament of youth, very important legacy of the war. music in the 1960s, of course, when the great works of music and works of art was war recollerequim. last is a very moving piece by arthur bliss called morning heroes and that commemorates the dead of the war and essentially his brother, who died on the psalm. visual arts is very rich, paul nash, william roberts, stanley spencer. henry tonks was a very interesting artist who was also a surgeon. he did very stark images of wounded soldiers, particularly soldie

concept of civil society basically doesn't play very well -- or didn't 20 years ago in the former yugoslavia. but we had to work with all of these people, and in some cases create at least the bases of a civil society who would then, we hope, take root on its own. so those were the areas that the report covered. as princeton said, we had the opportunity to talk to current and former special envoys and learn from them about how they did their jobs and compare it against our own experiences. >> bob and i might just share some of our experiences. then ask dan and david do the same. >> excellent. >> let me start with this question of power, mandate and authority. if you're a presidential envoy, what everybody wants to know is, are you really the president's envoy. that is, are you speaking for the president, do you have the president's backing, does the president look to you as the key person in that regard. and that comes from both the substantive relationships but also comes from appearances. one of the first things i did when i -- even before i became the full envoy but the assistant envoy is

we understand things a little better today in part because the wars of basically in the former yugoslaviaught us a bit more about the balkans. some of us have rediscovered turkey. in my own case, it's just because i went to live there. these places back and beyond the cold war. turkey was if nothing more than a bit player in the cuban missile crisis. the balkans were behind the iron curtain. i'd like to bring you back a little bit like what we might have called the world before 9/11 the world of 2010. it is true the war came as a shock to most europeans. neal ferguson showed us it wasn't priced into the bond market. others have shown us that ordinary people it came as a bolt from the blue. no one wasÑcfóç expecting it. however, those like david frompkin, he wrote a book called "europe's last summer" with an interesting metaphor of what he called clear air turbulence. the airplane is going along, and it's so calm that the seat belt sign is off. you're wandering around the plane, and unluckily you find your head bouncing off the ceiling because of clear air turbulence. he said that's what h

the 1990s reminded us of the importance of the balkans, wars in the former yugoslavia, levin has brought us face-to-face with the middle east, the ottoman legacy there. i if i if norman had the book to write over again today he would pay more attention to turkey, the caucasian front, the direct front pitting turkish against russian troops, and these are things he knows a great deal about, i've spoken to him about them. but it is interesting they don't factor that much in to that study. and i think part of that is again just the time in which we live. and the time which i'm writing, turkey is more in the news. the middle east is more the news. so it's probably more of a natural thing for me to sort of turn in that direction. but thank you for the question. >> bill is up next from hickson, tennessee. good morning, bill, you're on with mr. mcmeekin. >> good to see an intellectual on tv. like that. i did have a few questions about woodrow wilson's motivations. they say the zimmerman telegram is what really got the u.s. into the war. but really, the united states really give -- or could mexic
