#1 What kind of an idiot would flee to Uber-Racist, mass-murdering, Zionist entity?

#2 Standard operation for UN Peacekeepers is to maintain the peace as long as all sides remain peaceful. Once any side decides otherwise, they withdraw, surrender, or otherwise abandon their mission. They are, at best, like canaries in coal mines. Unfortunately even in peacetime they do nothing to prevent or warn of arms build ups by anyone. They do have nice parties and award ceremonies though.

#3 Dijk. Un pecekeepers are just a buffering force aimed at ensuring peace betweentwo opponenets who want peace. It ensures the conflict doesn't rekindle because some nervous soldier fired at a rabbit thibnking it was an enemy trying to inflitrate then other soldeiers join and soon you have artillery and tanks joining the fun. When there is a UN buffer and you hears something you can assume it is a rabbit and if you fire at it there is no enemy thinking you have fired at him and retaliating.

But for active operations you carry artillery and tanks and your vehicles and helmets are camouflaged instead of being painted in white and silly blue respectively.

You sure? Because, around here, they act more as terrorists' shield.

#5 Most UN forces are there to simply get in the way of anyone interfering with terrorist and guerrilla operations.

#7 You forgot the great U.N. Food-for-Nookie program they usually fire up when they have foodstuff to distribute.

I say offer to exchange Ban Ki-moon for the Fijians. But the Rebels aren't that stupid - they know how useless Ban is.

#8 The Mideast in a nutshell. When someone is wanting to save their skin, Israel looks mighty good; trash-talking about the Israelis suddenly becomes passe.
