	Richard Holbrooke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Charles Albert Holbrooke (born April 24, 1941) is a New Yorker who has had a varied career as a professional American diplomat, magazine editor, author, Peace Corps director, and investment banker.
		Although long well-known in diplomatic and journalistic circles, Holbrooke achieved great public prominence only when he brokered a peace agreement among the warring factions in Bosnia that led to the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords in 1995.
		Although he lost out to Madeline Albright in 1997 when Bill Clinton chose a replacement for Warren Christopher as Secretary of State, Holbrooke is still seen as a leading contender for that post in any future Democratic administration.

		RICHARD HOLBROOKE: Mostar concerns me a great deal more in a way because that is the core of the federation, the American-engineered alliance into a single entity and half the country of the Muslims and the Croats, there's no excuse for the conflict in Mostar.
