Romeo Dallaire - a powerful speaker with a powerful message

Romeo Dallaire joined us at our Manitoba Liberal Party reception last night. Drawing on his experiences in Rwanda and in many other places, he spoke with passion and feeling.

He took us to Rwanda, and made us feel the agony of decision making - and the courage and humanity of many of the soldiers who served with him.

He spoke of human rights, and of his philosophy of humanity - that no one is more human than anyone else - and that as Canadians, and Canadian peacekeepers we have a responsibilty as an important middle power to help protect others whether it is in Rwanda, in the middle east or in Darfur.
