He appears to have an intuitive grasp of the realities of the situation there, together with a determination that there should be a just settlement of the conflict. His statement on CNN that "our goal is a single Bosnian state," shows that he has grasped what none of the earlier negotiators seem to have understood: that the Serbs cannot be rewarded for aggression and that no group can be allowed to change national borders in Europe by force. He also appears to understand - from what he said on "Meet the Press" - that it is Milosevic who really holds the key to what the Serbs do in Bosnia. Holbrooke knows that large amounts of arms and materiel have been reaching the Bosnian Serbs from Milosevic's Serbia, and that without that aid, the Bosnian Serbs could not continue committing their crimes. Because of Holbrooke's insight into the way the Serbs really think and behave, a new sense of reality seems to have set in among the negotiators. What has made many of us in Europe really hopeful, though, was his statement over CNN that a final peace settlement most definitely will be enforced, by Nato and by the United States. It was clear to us that this time, finally, a commitment had been made that will be kept. A tremendous amount of sheer labor still remains. The rock of Sisyphus that Warren Christopher mentioned may have to be rolled up the mountain many more times, but when peace is finally a reality in the Balkans, Holbrooke surely deserves at least a nomination for a Nobel Prize. And after all the work you must have done - behind the scenes - many of us think you should share in that nomination, and perhaps even in the prize itself. If that doesn't happen, your American supporters here in Europe know you are intelligent enough to recall what John Kennedy said about life: It's unfair. We also know that you are wise enough to understand what Kennedy didn't say: that life may be unfair, but history almost never is. Sincerely yours, Robert J. Bennett Munich
