Comments on: UNIFIL to have ‘teeth’? http://sistertoldjah.com/archives/2006/08/21/unifil-to-have-teeth/ Don't dis or dismiss this miss!

To date, the UN has done NOTHING other than a "Now, now, play nice" memo. I really hope the "stressful situation" defense of child molestation does not gain traction. I really can't believe anybody even suggested it. I would accept the “bad apples” argument if the UN had vigorously sought out and prosecuted the offenders.

Why are they there? What "peace" are they keeping? How are they keeping the "peace"? If all they are doing is appeasing the terrorists, err, I mean "militants", then all they become are hezbollah lackeys......

Why are they there?

What “peace” are they keeping?
How are they keeping the “peace”?

If all they are doing is appeasing the terrorists, err, I mean “militants”, then all they become are hezbollah lackeys……

I'm sure there are some bad apples in there. The boots on the ground are young men who have to leave thier home country, and go to some war torn area, to try and help people in a country miles from thier home. You guys can hammer on me if you wish, but you know on most subjects I am with you. I actually wasn’t being sarcastic. I’m sure there are some bad apples in there.

A mob of young men then dragged the barriers away and the UN opened the gates. “They will eat us alive,” said a middle-aged official as the throng surged in.
