Years too late


From the New York Times:


"QUOTATION OF THE DAY
'It may look like war but it's peacekeeping.'
LT. GEN. BABACAR GAYE of Senegal, the force commander of the largest of 18 United Nations peacekeeping operations, in Congo."
Yeah, general. The UN is stepping-it-up in Congo but can't do anything in Suddan. Why? The death count is still rising, by the way.


I will, however, say that it's a good sign when you hear this, "'The ghost of Rwanda lies very heavily over how the U.N. and the Security Council have chosen to deal with Ituri,' said David Harland, a top official at the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations in New York."
