Richard Holbrooke, a Statesman, a gentleman, a politician, an intellectual, passed away at the age of 69. He is known for brokering the peace negotiation during the Balkan crisis in 1995. He was a hard-charging diplomat who never relented from a challange. President Obama said, "He never stops. He never quits. Because he's always believed that if we stay focused, if we act on our mutual interests, that progress is possible. Wars can end. Peace can be forged" (Chandrasekaran, 2010).
