KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: The resurgence of violence in the Middle East comes on the anniversary of an accord that had many observers hoping peace had finally started to take hold in another troubled part of the world. That anniversary is the subject of our "CNN 20" segment this morning.</s>CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I remember the moment. It was November 21, 1995, when the Dayton Peace Accord was signed. And it was touch and go there for a while. You know, all sides had been taken to this air base in Dayton, Ohio, to try to hammer out a peace deal. I was in Sarajevo watching for what would happen, what would transpire. And at the very end, you know, there was a threat of no peace being struck. Finally, the negotiators came out and announced that a peace deal had been signed. People were extremely exhausted after all of this war and felt that Dayton was not the kind of peace they wanted because, essentially, it legitimized the partition of Bosnia. Now, it also gave an opportunity to democratize and to reverse the partition. But that was only going to be contingent on strict enforcement by the international community and by the goodwill on all sides. Of course, there was a sigh of relief that the shooting war had stopped, but there was also a sense of sadness that Bosnia had suffered, perhaps irreversibly, the ethnic aggression that had come to it over the last 3 1/2, four years. So it was with very mixed feelings that we reported the peace accord that night. I remember it very well.
