Carl Bildt — Preserving the Ottoman Mosaic

The roots of the Middle East’s many conflicts lie in the unraveling of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the twentieth century and the failure since then to forge a stable regional order. As the international community works toward securing a durable peace in the region, its leaders would be wise to remember the lessons of history.

Carl Bildt is a hack. He has one quality only and that is his intonation and emphasis when speaking which apparently is very persuasive to some people. That's the only thing to learn from this man who drove Sweden down the drain in 1990 as prime minister.
