Lt.Gen Romeo Dallaire (Ret.)is one of the greatest Canadians alive today. He sacrificed his time and his health for people who live half way across the world. He has great ideas and great standards and is one of my heros. I thank him for everything he has done and given and wish him all of the best.

I certainly hope he can find some peace someday. I recently completed a 3 year study of the Rwanda Genocide. The ghost writer of his book killed herself before the book was done. I am amazed at Mr Dallaire's strength to continue in the face of what can only be described as being witness to the apocalypse
