| #3 Kevin Myers is usually pretty funny and biting. He is sort of a cross between Mark Steyn and John Leo. I have always enjoyed his writing even if I don't agree with him from time to time. But he does have a lot of good points here that I am glad socialistic Euros (and he is one) are picking up on. Managing these intercince conflicts, ala Bill Bob Clinton, are fret with danger both political and physical for your troops. I will bet you a pint of Guinness that they will not be armored or given weapons and if given weapons will not have ammo and if they have ammo they will have more restrictive RoE than our border patrol. Plus they are under a French command. Even the Irish have a hard time stomaching that. Surprisingly, he didn't suggest letting the US or NATO do this duty. I always thought that Darfur was Bush's fault anyway. |
