KLP, 42,000 UN peace-keepers is obviously not enough to do more than a spot of policing where there isn't much conflict to deal with. How many police does New York have? I guess maybe that many. Sure enough, my buddy Google is up with the play ibo.nyc.ny.us

So you shouldn't be surprised that 42,000 UN peace-keepers aren't keeping a lot of peace.

<Oh, my....with SO many UN peacekeepers worldwide, we shouldn't be having any problems then in any country in Africa, or in Europe, or the Middle East, or the Far East, etc...etc...
If these folks have been doing such a great job for so many years, why are there so many waring factions all over the world?

It is taking 150,000 USA peace-keepers in Iraq and they aren't really keeping the peace, even after a year of "Mission Accomplished" and the end of major hostilities.
