Breda alerted us to an article on (surprise!) even more malfeasance, corruption, and violence by UN Peacekeeping troops. Malfeasance, corruption, and violence largely financed by that ripe suck which is the U.S. Taxpayer.
My first thought was "Pakistani and Indian troops? In the same country? To keep the peace?!? Whose bright idea was that?"
It is all about that goat fur - Kashmir, and the monopoly upon it, they don't have that goat in the Congo and so no one would think of fighting over it. Steal some weapons from the Indian contingent (if you are a Packi) sell them, or steal them from the Pakistani contingent if you are not Islamic and sell them. One never sells their own weapons....
ReplyDeleteTo get a feel for how they *really* feel, watch the daily gate ceremony when they close the frontier at Wagah. Granted, it's all done officially and for show, but the posturing and aggression have been taken too far in the past.

Heh. Just as your page pulled up, Megadeth's United Abominations came on. :D
