IMO, the entire concept of "peacekeepers" is a naive construct of the Left. When an army is needed to crush a foe, send an army, not a "peacekeeper". If anything, "peacekeepers" are police forces, whose primary duty (after providing a deterrent nom-de-force) is to investigate after the fact and hopefully arrest the criminals. It is a huge mistake, IMO, to mix Western concepts of law-enforcement with the current assymetrical war on insurgent Islam, as well as other assymetrical opponents. What did Tuco say...

There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend. Those with a rope around their neck and the people who have the job of doing the cutting. Listen, the neck at the end of the rope is mine! I run the risks. So the next time, I want more than half.
