From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-06-28:

"It was terrifying and surreal to be talking to someone, sometimes someone you knew, listening to them pleading for help, and being able to do nothing but reassure them that help was on the way - and then to hear screams, shots and the silence of a dead line." -- Romeo Dallaire, general and former commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda, recalling his force's inability to save lives during the Rwandan genocide. From Dallaire's 2005 book, Shake Hands with the Devil.

That whole book was one giant quote of the day. I highly recommend it - but not if you're already feeling depressed.

It's really no wonder he had a breakdown when he got back, is it?
