Darfur

[anotheoldgit]

Should the UN get involved in Darfur, when 7000 African Union peace keeping troops are being withdrawn?

If the UN does get involved in this dangerous mission, would not those young males who have donned fake UN blue berets and are protesting in London today, be better employed putting on the real thing and going out to Darfur and putting their lives at risk?

Blair is also taking the lead once again, by appealing for Europe to take the lead. Have we enough troops left to get involved in yet another foreign conflict?

The UN and NATO probably have enough troops to intervene in Darfur and Afghanistan but they just don't have the backbone to insist their members cough up the required resources. The bottom line is that no-one wants to get involved when their own troops will die and they will get critisism for getting involved.

With Blair as our leader, you don't need to be a Clairvoyant to see whats going to happen, troop in N.Iireland, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and----------------------Darfur. Whilst keeping up our committments to places like Oman, AND, at the same time reducing the number of the Armed Forces.

Where would we be without him?.
