Just before midnight in East Timor on May 20, 2002, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Kofi Annan stood center stage under blinding spotlights. The sound of violins, flutes, tambourines,and hundreds of singing voices filled the air with excitement and energy. Children, some in white dresses carrying candles, others holding red, yellow, and blue fish kites on poles, paraded through the crowd. As Annan started to speak, a hush swept over the audience. “I
