There've been big UN peacekeeping successes -- like Liberia, Ivory Coast, East Timor, Eastern Slavonia -- but also tragic failures, like Rwanda and Srebrenica. Considering how difficult such situations are, the successes are impressive -- and were achieved at low cost, especially compared to the thousands of billions the US wasted on its disastrous go-it-alone intervention in iraq. Still, the failure of UN peacekeeping in some other cases does call for hard thinking about how to do better.
I like how Rwanda doesn't even get it's own sentence, 800,000 dead over the course of 100 days but hey that was just a bump in the otherwise smooth road of peacekeeping. Yeah, real great...
