Are you sure you're not conflating his *country's* position with his
vis-a-vis the Balkans?
I think the "peace-loving" position he is espousing is his, and not
necessarily his government's. *If* the same was true at the time of the
Balkan conflict, then you're not being fair to him with that paragraph. If,
however, his position at the outbreak of the Balkan conflict was that
something had to be done, then you're not being so unfair. I'd want
clarification of what his position was and when he held that position before
I went any further with this, one way or the other.
