Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.71,0:03:39.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went on to cover many, many, many wars after that,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.25,0:03:41.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so many that I lost count,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.88,0:03:44.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there was nothing like Sarajevo.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.96,0:03:48.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Last April, I went back to a very strange --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.91,0:03:52.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I called a deranged high school reunion.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.69,0:03:57.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What it was, was the 20th anniversary of the siege,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.50,0:04:03.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I don't like the word "anniversary," because it sounds like a party,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.94,0:04:05.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this was not a party.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.34,0:04:09.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was a very somber gathering of the reporters
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.33,0:04:12.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that worked there during the war, humanitarian aid workers,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.72,0:04:17.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and of course the brave and courageous people of Sarajevo themselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.19,0:04:19.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the thing that struck me the most,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.61,0:04:21.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that broke my heart,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.35,0:04:23.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was walking down the main street of Sarajevo,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.52,0:04:27.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where my friend Aida saw the tank coming 20 years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.60,0:04:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in that road were more than 12,000 red chairs,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.30,0:04:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,empty,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.92,0:04:38.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and every single one of them symbolized
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.19,0:04:41.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a person who had died during the siege,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.91,0:04:46.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just in Sarajevo, not in all of Bosnia,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.19,0:04:48.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it stretched from one end of the city
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.78,0:04:51.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a large part of it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.06,0:04:54.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the saddest for me were the tiny little chairs
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.56,0:04:57.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the children.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.41,0:05:00.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I now cover Syria,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.54,0:05:03.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I started reporting it because I believed that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.73,0:05:05.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it needs to be done.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.99,0:05:08.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believe a story there has to be told.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.99,0:05:12.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I see, again, a template of the war in Bosnia.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.96,0:05:15.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when I first arrived in Damascus,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.19,0:05:17.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I saw this strange moment where people
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.59,0:05:21.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,didn't seem to believe that war was going to descend,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.15,0:05:23.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was exactly the same in Bosnia
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.09,0:05:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and nearly every other country I've seen where war comes.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.90,0:05:28.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People don't want to believe it's coming,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.44,0:05:31.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they don't leave, they don't leave before they can.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.91,0:05:33.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't get their money out.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.58,0:05:37.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They stay because you want to stay in your home.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.48,0:05:41.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then war and chaos descend.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.52,0:05:45.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Rwanda is a place that haunts me a lot.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.32,0:05:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In 1994, I briefly left Sarajevo to go report the genocide in Rwanda.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.47,0:05:56.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Between April and August, 1994,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.32,0:06:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one million people were slaughtered.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.52,0:06:05.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now if those 12,000 chairs freaked me out
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.75,0:06:07.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the sheer number,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.82,0:06:11.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want you just for a second to think of a million people.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.45,0:06:13.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And to give you some example, I remember
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.99,0:06:19.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,standing and looking down a road as far as I could see,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.07,0:06:25.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at least a mile, and there were bodies piled twice my height
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.16,0:06:26.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the dead.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.88,0:06:30.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that was just a small percentage of the dead.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.22,0:06:32.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there were mothers holding their children
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.19,0:06:35.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who had been caught in their last death throes.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.53,0:06:38.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we learn a lot from war,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.86,0:06:41.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I mention Rwanda
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.21,0:06:45.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it is one place, like South Africa,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.33,0:06:49.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where nearly 20 years on, there is healing.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.31,0:06:52.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fifty-six percent of the parliamentarians are women,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.78,0:06:55.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is fantastic,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.23,0:06:59.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there's also within the national constitution now,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.26,0:07:02.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're actually not allowed to say Hutu or Tutsi.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.43,0:07:06.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're not allowed to identify anyone by ethnicity,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.30,0:07:10.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is, of course, what started the slaughter in the first place.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.84,0:07:13.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And an aid worker friend of mine told me the most beautiful story,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.95,0:07:15.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or I find it beautiful.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.44,0:07:20.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was a group of children, mixed Hutus and Tutsis,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.35,0:07:23.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a group of women who were adopting them,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.07,0:07:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they lined up and one was just given to the next.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.00,0:07:30.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was no kind of compensation for, you're a Tutsi,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.17,0:07:33.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're a Hutu, you might have killed my mother,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.08,0:07:34.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might have killed my father.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.93,0:07:40.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were just brought together in this kind of reconciliation,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.23,0:07:43.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I find this remarkable.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.82,0:07:46.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when people ask me how I continue to cover war,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.66,0:07:48.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and why I continue to do it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.87,0:07:50.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is why.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.34,0:07:53.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I go back to Syria, next week in fact,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:53.73,0:07:57.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I see is incredibly heroic people,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.69,0:07:59.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some of them fighting for democracy,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.98,0:08:07.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's pretty much why I do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:07.22,0:08:11.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In 2004, I had a little baby boy,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.69,0:08:14.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I call him my miracle child,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.88,0:08:17.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because after seeing so much death
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.93,0:08:22.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and destruction and chaos and darkness in my life,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.11,0:08:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this ray of hope was born.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.96,0:08:30.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I called him Luca, which means "The bringer of light,"
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.16,0:08:35.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because he does bring light to my life.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.08,0:08:38.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm talking about him because when he was four months old,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.54,0:08:43.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my foreign editor forced me to go back to Baghdad
Dialogue: 0,0:08:43.21,0:08:46.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I had been reporting all throughout the Saddam regime
Dialogue: 0,0:08:46.54,0:08:49.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and during the fall of Baghdad and afterwards,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.42,0:08:52.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I remember getting on the plane in tears,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:52.51,0:08:55.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,crying to be separated from my son,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.50,0:08:57.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and while I was there,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.73,0:09:00.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a quite famous Iraqi politician who was a friend of mine
Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.47,0:09:02.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,said to me, "What are you doing here?
Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.94,0:09:04.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why aren't you home with Luca?"
Dialogue: 0,0:09:04.78,0:09:08.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I said, "Well, I have to see." It was 2004
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.57,0:09:12.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was the beginning of the incredibly bloody time in Iraq,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.95,0:09:16.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I have to see, I have to see what is happening here.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:16.19,0:09:17.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have to report it."
Dialogue: 0,0:09:17.06,0:09:20.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he said, "Go home,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:20.62,0:09:23.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because if you miss his first tooth,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:23.91,0:09:26.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you miss his first step, you'll never forgive yourself.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:26.91,0:09:30.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there will always be another war."
Dialogue: 0,0:09:30.77,0:09:35.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there, sadly, will always be wars.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:35.11,0:09:38.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I am deluding myself if I think, as a journalist,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.96,0:09:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a reporter, as a writer,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:40.73,0:09:45.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I do can stop them. I can't.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:45.57,0:09:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not Kofi Annan. He can't stop a war.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:48.12,0:09:51.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He tried to negotiate Syria and couldn't do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:51.09,0:09:55.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not a U.N. conflict resolution person.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.09,0:09:57.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not even a humanitarian aid doctor,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:57.37,0:10:00.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I can't tell you the times of how helpless I've felt
Dialogue: 0,0:10:00.20,0:10:03.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to have people dying in front of me, and I couldn't save them.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:03.47,0:10:07.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All I am is a witness.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:07.30,0:10:12.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My role is to bring a voice to people who are voiceless.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.36,0:10:15.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A colleague of mine described it as to shine a light
Dialogue: 0,0:10:15.59,0:10:18.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the darkest corners of the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:18.35,0:10:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what I try to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:21.00,0:10:24.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not always successful,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:24.04,0:10:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sometimes it's incredibly frustrating,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:26.58,0:10:28.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you feel like you're writing into a void,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:28.78,0:10:31.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you feel like no one cares.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:31.11,0:10:33.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who cares about Syria? Who cares about Bosnia?
Dialogue: 0,0:10:33.36,0:10:35.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who cares about the Congo,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:35.37,0:10:37.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.65,0:10:39.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of these strings of places that
Dialogue: 0,0:10:39.76,0:10:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I will remember for the rest of my life?
Dialogue: 0,0:10:43.74,0:10:46.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But my métier is to bear witness
Dialogue: 0,0:10:46.99,0:10:50.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is the crux, the heart of the matter,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:50.17,0:10:52.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for us reporters who do this.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.71,0:10:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all I can really do is hope,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:56.30,0:10:58.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not to policymakers or politicians,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:58.91,0:11:01.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because as much as I'd like to have faith
Dialogue: 0,0:11:01.31,0:11:03.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they read my words and do something,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.77,0:11:06.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't delude myself.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:06.93,0:11:11.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what I do hope is that if you remember anything I said
Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.15,0:11:14.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or any of my stories tomorrow morning over breakfast,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:14.70,0:11:17.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you can remember the story of Sarajevo,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:17.38,0:11:20.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the story of Rwanda,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:20.88,0:11:23.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I've done my job.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:23.45,0:11:25.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much.
