You have still not given me an example of a success story in all of
our post WWII military adventures. The best that you can point at is a
stalemate in the Bulkans where we have 124,000 blue helmets standing
between feuding factions.

No stalemate. No one is dying there as they were previously.

That is the definition of a stalemate.
(It is a chess term, referring to a game where no pieces can be taken)


No. A stalemate is when neither side gets an advantage. This isn't
chess. This is human life. But, I forgot, you don't care.


Then this is still a stalemate by your definition.

What "advantage" are we achieving?


Peace. People not dying. Seems pretty good to me.


BTW when I went looking for that number I was overwhelmed by reports
of the UN "peacekeepers" engaged in human trafficking and rape.
Put this on your google bar

"Bosnia peace keepers 2010"

You can see what wonderful people the UN is putting in there to help
out the population.


So, you're claiming that all the peace keepers (ours included) are
trafficking and raping. Seems to me you believe that because a few
people do something bad, that means all of them do bad.

Just enough to be a problem. More wonderful press for the UN


Problem for the individuals being harmed and some bad press. That's
not a rebuke of the UN.



You certainly have a soft position on rape and human trafficking.


?? That's disingenuous in the extreme and total nonsense.
