#3 but U.N. officials are powerless to bring charges or prosecute the soldiers for their alleged crime.

"I think it sent a very clear message," Lute told reporters Friday...

Yes, it has. One we've heard many, many times before.
And now...lunch!

#4 Now if they were Americans, you could be assured they'd be on the docket at the Hague, with SCOTUS Justice Kennedy's compliments.

#6 I guess I have a different take on this. The UN deserves criticism for not vetting these peace keepers in the first place as well as allowing for the culture of carnality to continue. But punishment for the offenders has to come from the country of origin. Otherwise serious participation in multinational forces would most likely cease to exist. Blame Bang for the light punishmentnot the UN.

#8 You can't expect muzzies to respect anyone but other muzzies, and only when they're the "right" sort. I'm not surprised that there's a problem with UN "peacekeeping" forces. There's always a problem when you have a bunch of arrogant young men with power but no adult supervision. Since the UN is determined to be unaccountable for anything they do, such problems will only grow in frequency and extent.

#9 Exactly, U.N. officials are powerless

Because it's deliberate.

There are very few nations willing to subordinate their troops to total UN authority.
