<< Peacekeepers are not useless at all. >>

You are sneaky. You want people to accept that statement, and no one is going to remember UN peacekeeper atrocities, like Rwanda.

Do you remember Rwanda? Of course, just like the suffering of the Iraqi people, who you don't care about, you probably could care less about the genocide of the Rwanda people, under the protection of UN peacekeepers.

The UN had 2000 peacekeepers in Rwanda. When the killing started, instead of using more peacekeepers, the UN WITHDREW the peacekeepers! Incredible!

What followed was 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus being slaughtered by Hutu extremists between April and June 1994. The UN stayed out for three months during the bloodbath.

I don't know what is more useless, UN peacekeepers, or your opinion. <g>
