The U.N. representative in the Congo, American William Lacy Swing, may soon resign his post following allegations of widespread sexual abuse by peacekeepers, diplomats said on Monday.

This is a good sign.

The day's of "Let me be perfectly clear, I did not have sex with that woman" working as a pacifier are over!

The day's of "Let me be perfectly clear, I did not have sex with that woman" working as a pacifier are over!

I sincerely hope that you are right, but it's important to remember that much of the world is still, for some insane reason, madly in love with Clinton and continue to see him as our greatest President ever (puke)

A similar, closely-intertwined demographic also see the UN as incapable of doing wrong and eagerly whitewashes all of it's innumerable mistakes, scandals, frauds, and various assorted crimes.

My hope is that any firings or resignations associated with this particular scandal will be meaningful and not merely scapegoating.  Based upon the UN's history, I am not optimistic.

Consider also that what we are dealing with is a terrible crime against innocent, vulnerable people.  We need far more than merely firings and resignations, we need meaningful criminal prosecutions.

Oh gee, he might resign. Hell, he should be stripped, beaten, tarred and feathered. - Then tried.

Anyone who has been in Africa in the past 15 years knows all of these things have been the result of using local (African) forces to police the UN resolutions.

The brutality does not stop at rape.

What no one is openly saying is that situation isn't going to change as long as different tribes police others.
