Russell:

Useful article on UN invasion of Sudan which argues that a "...moralised multilateralism lends itself to passing the buck" leading to a "scrambling of political responsibilities (which) is usually resolved by greater coercion".

Darfur: colonised by 'peacekeepers'

The new 26,000-strong UN force being sent to the war-torn western province of Sudan is likely to stir up further tensions rather than deliver peace.

[WS:] This sounds like it was written by some US wingnut UN-hater. It is ironic how opposites tend to meet: wingnut rightists and wingnut leftists more and more using same hyperboles.
