If you scroll back you will see we share the same views on investment to prevent radicalisation. I also suggest amending the criminal record process.
You may also have noticed, if you weren't so blinkered in your enthusiasm to criticise that I am very pro UN, and very anti BBC.
Here's a clue. Soldiers are not trained to be policemen, they are trained to kill people. And when the people they have been sent to police object to that, thats what they will do, because thats all they know how to do. And it will go downhill from there, very, very fast."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

It's not fair to send soldiers to a war where there aren't clear objectives. At the moment any involvement in Syria would mean bombing one side then switching over and bombing another."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Only boots on the ground can deliver peace. And a UN mandate is the best mandate we can give.
Needs clear goals though, not just witnesses, but peace enforcement. If needs be through force.

Why 10 million? Well let's not mince around. This number would put peacekeepers in every village and on every road.Last edited by PurpleGorilla; 18 November 2015, 21:33.Comment

I used to live in an extremely nationalist area of the North of Ireland. They had tens of thousands of soldiers trying to cope with half a million Catholics and they still couldn't stop Docklands and Manchester getting utterly fooked and a thousand soldiers and police being killed.
All that was asked for was "one man one vote" and there was a war for that. In the UK.
A few thing I learned from that is that when you live in a community and there is an army of occupation people get kind of ****ed off. Putting your bins out and a soldier is in your garden telling to you **** of fenian you don't really care if he gets his legs blown off later, and they often did. Secondly community and resolve gets stronger under undeserved oppression.

What is peacekeeping? United Nations Peacekeeping

Yes, we have heard of the UN peacekeepers.
The Dutch UN soldiers left Srebrenica and the Serbians moved in, dug trenches and shot 9000 Bosnians into them. In 95. In Europe.Comment

So, same old same old really.
Force it? Only if it's necessary for our own safety.
Ostracise them until they become civilised? Sure.Comment
