Guys,
I agree that Holbroke was America's "Peace in Our Time" Chamberlain ...
and that he was wined and dined (and who knows what else) by the best that America's Stae Department ... and Europe could offer ... living the "good life" ...
but he fought like hell for what he believed in ... worked long hours for decades ...
at least he wasn't a Bill Clinton or Bernie Madoff kind of guy ...
Rest In Peace

Holbrooke was on the AIG Board of Directors during the credit swaps/default days while locking in corporate bonuses for "his work". Quit two months before the poop hit the fan in 2008.
For overseeing the financial aspect of crashing the “system”, I would say Holbrooke was 100x worse than Madoff.

Forgot the cronyism/Bill Clinton part. Holbrooke managed to secure cushy loans through Countrywide for himself and his son. Thus, on par with the “Bill Clinton types”.

I agree that Holbroke was America's "Peace in Our Time" Chamberlain ... It took Chamberlain less than one year after Munich to figure out that Hitler had snookered him.
After that, he had the decency to resign and make way for Churchill.
