#1 Deploy "peacekeepers" to do what? Provide more targets? Help Al Qaeda, the Baathist dead-enders, Hamas, et al., kill more Americans, Israelis and Iraqis? Set up child prostitution rings? Steal more money from the locals?

And fuck you, Abdullah. I've got your "cycle of violence" right here.

#2 They must need more UN per diem.

#3 Not targets. The Palestinians have wanted peacekeepers for quite a while. An international 'peacekeeper' presence will, at the least, act as a 'hudna shield'. Depending on who's composing the force, they could also become enablers.

#5 Thanks, but I blame Rantburg for its bad influence on me.

Seriously, the antics of the UN force on the Lebanon border will be minor compared to what would happen in the so-called "occupied Palestinian territories".

I'll go so far as to say, depending on who gets sent there, you'll see "extra" peacekeeper combat equipment 'getting lost' in the camps.

#6 The only reason the Palestinians want UN peacekeepers is to protect them from Israeli retaliation. Not only should the UN not send peacekeepers it should close down its "refugee" camps and cease financial contributions to all Palestinian entities. Either that or be honest and say that they are nothing but pawns for militant Islam and a bunch sclerotic antisemitic Eurosocialists who want to annihilate Israel and in the process stick it to the US.
