"Buildings and bridges are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world that's what it takes.
All that steel and stone are no match for the air my friends.
What doesn't bend breaks, what doesn't bend breaks."

Important Swanee Hunt Articles

Bosnia Still Needs Fixing
"Dayton also divided the country itself into two separate statelets — a Bosniak-Croat federation and a Serb republic — governed by the same legislature and presidency. At the time, many Bosnian women’s groups, religious leaders, civil society activists and students warned that the arrangement wouldn’t work because the country historically had been integrated. But they weren’t at the negotiating table; only those with the power to fight or to lay down their weapons were invited.
In retrospect, perhaps we could have done better to engage politically unrepresented groups who craved stability, so that they could sit alongside those who knew how to fight."
