When the UN’s in town, they’ll be raped, forced into prostitution, robbed, and now shot dead in the streets.

Tim Blair - PEOPLE DEAD; BIG DEAL

Not much media interest in this:

Human rights activists charged Tuesday that U.N. peacekeepers knowingly gunned down civilians in a raid that targeted a marketplace, pinning down dozens of people down during the biggest gunbattle in the U.N.’s six-year mission in Congo…

The United Nations said its troops fired only when they were attacked, and that women and children were among those who fired weapons.

About 60 people were killed. Whatever; the women and children fired first! There is news on another shooting, that resulted in one death and received slightly more attention, here.

Wow, am I ever glad the UN exists and is out there doing so much good in the world.

I just tried looking up all my entries on the UN and all it’s glorious good works, but there’s just too much. Here’s a couple: No One Learns Anything From Anything, Exhibit B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, Here Comes the Morally Superior UN Again, Benan Sevan is Screwed, Colour Me Nonplussed, Vital My Foot, An Unexpected Plot Twist, and my personal favourite: No One Learns Anything From Anything, Exhibit A.
