god i love statistics.

[Staga]

I was amazed too reading that top ten contributors (and then few more) are "Third World" countries.
Gotta give props to Bangladesh and Pakistan.

[Raider179]

Yeah bangladesh was the one I was really surprised. I tried to find back data to see if it was after Kosovo that we took all our troops out or what.

so according to that...If you call the UN out to "help" you with your problems you will get the same people wearing uniforms as are answering the phone when you try to get your dell coimputer fixed?

Another stirring endorsment for the un.

Staga. I think thoose figures are a little, "wrong", as I see your list shows only military and civilian POLICE?

Sweden has 720 Military personal and observers under the command of UN, divided into the following locations:

Afganistan 89
Bosnia 64
balkan 6
Georgia 3
India-Pakistan 6
Kongo 5
kosovo 300
liberia 234
libanon 7
seirra leone 1
sudan 3
east timor 2

And 2000 ready to be deployed anywhere in the world if called for.


 Laz2, good one

That looks like its just police contributions, whether military police or civilian police. Doesnt appear to include military combat units designated as peacekeepers.

Staga I doubt read all I posted..he took one thing and used it to what he wanted it to be. a flame...He can say what ever he wishes. I'm tired of arguing with people like him. No matter what I said he will spin it to become what he wants me to have said. His right...no problem.
