..At present, U.S. troops and civilian police account for 464 of the 42,597 UN peacekeepers worldwide... I hope to god that's a typo. Should I reasonably hope the US Mission to the UN made a typo? I hope it is a typo too. Let's get those American troops back under 100% US control.

42,597 UN peacekeepers worldwide... 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? Peacekeepers don't actively participate in pulling the combatants apart, do they? Don't they just sit on the sidelines, and tell them to "straighten up and fly right..."???
