#1 Woops! Call the ICJ, the ICC, AI, HRW, and start the UN investigation! I'm sure it will eventually be found to be Bush's personal fault.

On the positive side, at least they didn't get sternly-worded letters. That woulda really hurt.

#2 I wouldn't be surprised if the pro-Aristide NGOs did. The 'usual suspects' have long been busy trying to undermine and stall the UN operation.

#3 Brazilian troops know how to clear a slum. Don't expect them to give a tinkers damn about any wailing and gnashing of teeth. Resist and die must be their standing operating mode.

#4 Well at least it looks like somebody's learning something. You keep the peace by eliminating threats to the peace. The word gets around.

#6 The Brazilians have a knack for clearing out slums or Favelas in Rio and Sao Paulo of drug lords such as the evil Gangan. Best guys for the job really, UN credit where it's due, used the correct tools for the job.

#7 About 'effing time the UN peacekeepers took those "Shoot Me" signs off their backs and kicked some ass. Three cheers for the Brazilians.
