Great talk. I wish he had talked about how the genocide that was committed in Bosnia while Europe stood by and watched impacted the loss of moral standing in the world that Europe has experienced. The catastrophe that befell Europe during the breakup of the Yugolavia has had a huge impact on Europe which often does not get mentioned.
