Well..it's not different at all...and not wanting to start a slam fest here but... The US soldier in this example was serving under a UN Mandate, the same as the one listed in the original post. The UN has indicated that the offenders are to be turned over to thier own country to be dealt with, exactly like the US soldier mentioned above.
Your comment about the UN continually exploiting thier "victims" is about as accurate as saying the US continually exploits prisoners in that Abu place...
did you read the article? I twas an ongoing thing, not just one incident.
"We have had and continue to have a serious problem of sexual exploitation and abuse," William Lacy Swing, the United Nations' special representative to Congo, said at a news conference.
Let's just face it, the UN is not qualified to do anything oher than drafting useless resolutions that they have ZERO power to enforce. Nobody is afraid of the UN......other than perhapse the people the UN are supposed to be protecting.
I would like to know why nobody outside the Americans on this bb can ever seem to see anything wrong with the UN. With all of the super sleuthes we have here who are able to dig up everything that is wrong with America, I wonder why no one can find anything bad at all to say about the UN, ever?
It's completely corrupt and run by fools and crooks. Most of the BS comes from the third world countries, who are forever ungrateful for the voice and money they have been given, ......with mostly western money keeping it all going.
I'm not just trying to make waves, I truly am sickened by the UN's ineptness and something needs to be done about it. I do not want my country involved with the UN in any way. No more money to the UN and no more pampered diplomats running around my country.
