During a November 17th visit to Sarajevo, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan dedicated a marble memorial to 257 UN personnel who died in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo during the Yugoslavian civil wars.

"This memorial will serve to reinforce our own determination as peacekeepers, citizens, and members of the human family to build better lives for succeeding generations," intoned Annan in what was clearly intended as a globalist version of Lincoln's Gettysburg address. He urged that Bosnia -- an artificial multicultural country with an unworkable, UN-imposed constitution -- continue its efforts to be "integrated into the European family ... [T]hat is how we will know that the sacrifice of our peacekeepers has not been in vain."
