Interesting article, Paul.

Certainly Canada's experience in Rawanda, at least as I distill the stories I've heard/read, shows in spades that command cannot be successful when done by committee and from a distance and when politics override actual reports and concomitant exigencies.

So I guess that U.N. Article 43 will remain forever a dream and, from lots of experiences, legitimately so.

It sure would be great if there could be some way found to keep/spread peace.
