I believe the role of peacekeeper in the post-cold war world is very important. What I was simply trying to suggest is that at the point where we take sides, or make enemies, we no longer become credible as a peacekeeper trying to bring all parties to the table. Once we choose sides we are no longer credible as a peacekeeper, and I am simply suggesting that the role of the peacekeeper is a vital and important role and an increasing responsibility we are going to be called upon to perform as the world moves toward the 21st century.
