#1 Nothing is more welcomed than foreign troops pretending to be police.

#2 Bringing in foreigners with guns to deal with local people with guns? It would be amusing, if not for the fact that the probability of such a thing ever happening approaches 0% from underneath.

#3 They've been able to help in places like Africa and abroad

Yeah? Where? Name one place where the United Nations ever helped anyone. Except for Dictators and Tyrants.

#4 Boykin said Chicago must "utilize every avenue" available to protect its people from gun violence, possibly including U.N. peacekeepers.

but removing political handcuffs from the Cops, arresting/prosecuting/imprisoning the offenders (mostly black and latino)? That's Crazy Talk

#5 How about rounding up our gangland Chicago friends and deploying them to Africa? A win-win for both continents.

#7 Let's hope we never get a black majority in this country. If we do, asinine statements like the one emitted by this moron will become a daily occurrence.

#11 CrazyFool : the Liberia mission hasn't hurt anybody, and the trickle-down from the troop's pay helped boost the local economy.
I'm not saying that the deployment was necessary or well-implemented, or that the economic boost was an efficient use of money (hardly); just that it did help.
It helped that the UN troops weren't getting shot at, and that the locals had some stake in peace.

An exception that tests the rule...

In Chicago? They'd be hunkered down in bunkers. And the local gangs would be acquiring (probably from the UN troops) all sorts of fun equipment.

#12 How many blue helmets will be buried from this?

And this is what many people I know that are what I call on the far end of sane predicted. Either they are right or the world has gone completely crazy.
