Famous last words

Sad that Holbrooke died, but if you've got to have some last words of import, that's a pretty good coda on the life of a diplomat and peacemaker.

Richard Holbrooke, RIP

...uh, wuh?
He experienced health problems in August, when he underwent treatment for heart problems and canceled one of his frequent trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan. On Friday morning, he was taken to George Washington University Hospital after he became flushed and suffered chest pains during a meeting with Clinton.

As he was sedated for surgery, his final words were to his Pakistani surgeon, according to family members: "You've got to stop this war in Afghanistan."
