	Romeo Dallaire
		General Romeo Dallaire did everything he could, pleading for 2000 more peacekeepers to be added to his insufficiently equipped 3000 man force.
		Romeo Dallaire, frustrated, and disheartened by the U.N.'s passive attitude, nonetheless stood for his beliefs, repeatedly confronting his superiors who did nothing to prevent the horrific events from unfolding.
		Romeo Dallaire is now working on the problem of war-affected children, and has visited countries where children are used as soldiers or are being sold into sexual slavery.

	Romeo Dallaire \| Canadian and UN Military Leader
		Romeo Dallaire was born in Holland where his father was in the Canadian services.
		Romeo Dallaire is most noted for his unsuccessful efforts in preventing genocide in Rwanda between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes.
		Dallaire had scant troops to stop the killings as the UN cut his force from 3000 to 500, however, his command is credited with saving as many as 20,000 Rwandans from certain death.

	Book review, Romeo Dallaire
		Dallaire sent a now-famous cable to the United Nations' Department of Peacekeeping Operations informing them of his intent to raid one of the weapons caches as a "deterrent" operation, but New York instructed him to cancel the raid.
		Dallaire describes how two of his military observers were forced at gunpoint to witness the massacre of hundreds of Tutsi men, women and children in a local church: "The gendarmes collected the adults' identity cards and burned them.
		Dallaire's call for a "revitalized and reformed" United Nations will not alter the basic reluctance of member nations -- which, after all, will continue to be run by governments elected to serve the interests of their own citizenry -- to risk the lives of their troops for altruistic reasons.

		OTTAWA, 29 September 2006 (BWNS) -- Romeo Dallaire, a Canadian senator and retired general who commanded the UN peacekeeping mission to Rwanda at the height of the genocide there, has issued a statement saying that the international community should be prepared to act to protect Iranian Baha'is from possible atrocities.

	The General and the Genocide Gen. Romeo Dallaire
		Dallaire and his troops were about to become spectators to genocide.
		Eight years later, in daylight and in dreams, Dallaire still hears the cries of wounded children, the weeping of survivors, the voice of the man who died at the other end of a phone line as the general listened.
		Dallaire says that about 20 percent of troops and humanitarian workers on missions like his suffer much the same thing, as do 5 to 10 percent of diplomats.

		Dallaire was in charge of the U.N. peacekeeping forces in Rwanda in 1993 and '94, when the majority Hutus began routinely executing their ancient tribal enemies, the Tutsis.

	Jeet Heer, "Romeo Dallaire: Haunted by Genocide"
		Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian commander of UN peacekeeping forces in Rwanda during the genocide that began there 10 years ago this week, never knows what sight might trigger memories of the nightmare he witnessed.
		In the fall of 1993, Dallaire was handed a mandate by the United Nations to enforce a peace agreement between the Hutu-dominated government of Rwanda and the largely Tutsi rebel forces of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).
		Despite his experience, Dallaire has not retreated into his private misery but has made himself an outspoken advocate for strengthened humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, arguing that the international community must not be allowed to escape the kind of moral reckoning he himself has faced.

	The solitary, tortured nobility of Romeo Dallaire
		And to realize that he is now caught up in that debilitating role to the extent that he talks of ''his personal battles with the fallout from his mission in Rwanda'' and believes that getting drunk and sleeping under a park bench is merely an indication that his therapy hasn't worked yet.
		Dallaire has lost his voice as an experienced soldier and now serves as a spokesperson for the therapy industry.
		General Dallaire may be paying the cost of the UN trying to do something in a situation where nothing will help.

	Reader Dallaire 2
		Dallaire's actions as recorded by the UN prove that he his, at least, a capable field commander with ability to run an HQ and coordinate the movements of 2,500 people.
		You say Dallaire's job was to follow orders but actually, as Dallaire said himself, he didn't need orders from the UN to act on the informant's information as it was in his mandate to destroy the weapons caches because they went against the Arusha Accords.
		Dallaire says that to this day he has mental problems that require him to take vast quantities of psychological drugs in order to remain stable and yet he has been appointed to positions of influence as a Canadian Senator and a Genocide Advisor to the United Nations.

		Dallaire was left to issue nightly pleas over the airwaves and, in his impotence, become a Canadian hero.

		Dallaire, the wounded hero of this drama, is a dedicated military man with profound respect for both the letter and the spirit of military protocols and objectives.
		Dallaire names the resultant genocide a “failure of humanity.” The recurring vision of Dallaire making his way through a landscape brimming with the putrefying, mutilated flesh of civilians is not a mythic apocalyptic vision; it is literal description, horrifyingly real.
		Dallaire conveys the crushing sense of responsibility he continues to feel for failing to protect the 800,000 who died in Rwanda, but that weight flows through him to the reader as each of us bears blame in the failure of humanity he describes.

		General Dallaire and his UN troops did not have the mandate to intervene; and they actually did not have the military muscle to do so either.
		As if it was not enough to have the very depths of your soldier's courage tested, on top of it all, General Dallaire had to deflect intense political pressure calling for him to throw out his impartiality and instead take sides in the conflict.
		To say that General Dallaire stands as a powerful model and inspiration for our graduates as they begin their own careers is indeed an understatement.

	Rwanda Dallaire Myth
		Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian commanding the U.N. force, drove within 20 yards of where the paratroopers were being held and saw blue-helmeted Belgian soldiers on the ground.
		Dallaire, now a Senator in Ottawa, was the Canadian General in charge of the ill-fated 1993 United Nations Peace Keeping mission to Rwanda.
		Dallaire, who has since retired, was unable to persuade the UN to increase the size of its minuscule force, and no country sent troops or arms to staunch the massacres until it was too late.

		And Dallaire's appeal is not just to America-bashers who seek more fuel to feed the faddish Bush-bashing going on around the world.
		Granted, Dallaire does not go lightly when speaking about the U.S.'s role in Rwanda or Haiti, or Somalia, or Yugoslavia or Iraq, but he does so not to lash out at America but rather to identify the reasons for the tragic endings to so many altruistic missions.

	'Romeo Dallaire': The sorrow and the pity \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		A Belgian senator rises to make a vile, demagogic speech attacking a man sitting nearby, Gen. Romeo Dallaire, who led the small U.N. force during the crisis and was one of the few white heroes (not many fl ones, either).
		The Hutu president was assassinated, and Dallaire, who had warned of the impending tragedy, not only got no reinforcement for his 450-man force but saw Belgian troops pull out, adding another stain to their national honor.
		Dallaire's return, mixed with often shocking footage from the crisis, gives the movie a binocular grip of witnessing.

	Pitt Chronicle: Shaking Hands with the Devil
		According to Dallaire, in the past 15 years commanders fulfilling U.N. mandates have increasingly found themselves caught between classic warfare—characterized by definable borders and an identifiable enemy—and new conflict parameters, which he attributes to the fact that traditional rules of war no longer apply in the post-Cold War world.
		Dallaire argued that outside military intervention is the only option for ending the current conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region—a brutal, ethnically based civil war eerily reminiscent of Rwanda’s—because no viable political or diplomatic solution is available at this time.
		Dallaire’s appearance as distinguished lecturer at the event was fitting, said Simon Reich, director of the Ford Institute and professor of public and international affairs.

		This experience led to Dallaire's own life tragedy as he dealt with the psychological fall out of witnessing a genocide he was powerless to stop.
		Dallaire condemns top UN officials, disloyal Belgian troop commanders, and senior members of the Clinton administration who chose to do nothing as he pleaded each day for reinforcements and revised rules of engagement, convinced that with a few thousand more troops and a mandate to act, he could have stopped the killings.
