If I lived in Juarez I would request it too- just to make the political step toward officially declaring Mexico a failed state. Cuidad Juarez has
the highest murder rate of any city on the planet.
If Teo kicks it up another notch here (and he is starting to) - it may be wise for Tijuana to request UN Peacekeepers too. No one trusts the Mexican
Army to fix the problem here or there. The longer they stay it place- the worse they look.

Blackwater would be a better choice. All they want to do is kill and that's what this situation needs more of. Not peacekeepers.
This place is turning into a clone of the Middle East.
The rape charges won't go away. Of course it's too much work to actually read the news. UN Rape is generally covered daily everywhere but US TV.
"It has become a tragic inevitability that whenever international peacekeepers are sent to bring law and order to a war torn country, a vast and
exploitative sex industry, allegedly follows close behind." BBC

Of course.
Now, was that aggression merited? Or productive?

Larry, you made the post questoning the well known facts about UN peacekeepers sex exploitation of women? Now you are targeting me for pointing out
your incedulity to well known sex exploitation? Aha!
You are too savvy to not either know about the UN or to have done a search on documentation of "UN Rape" yourself? I provided sources crossing all
political spectrums. So which is it? Naivete or denial of the facts or promotion of disinformation, Larry? Please plead naivete or what are we to
think? Of course you aren't naive.
So what is your point? You are minsinformed? A defender of UN Rapists and Sex Exploitation or you are picking a fight for some purpose other than
informing Baja people of the obvious concern we should all have for UN Peacekeeprs coming to Baja under the direction of
Dyccorp/Haliburton/KBR/XE/Blackwater, a problem that is proliferating today and expanding with more than 300,000 UN Contractors working as UN
peacekeeprs today and growing fast, all the while decalring another UNESCO Biosphere and demands for UN Peacekeerpers here?
Let me ask you directly, Are you for or against "UN PEACEKEEPER SEX EXPLOITATION OF BAJA"?
Rape and sexual exploitation are repugnant. That said, in my opinion, gnu has actually hit upon something that may be a greater threat to civilization
as we know it. I refer to the outsourcing of dirty work to highly paid mercenaries, resulting in obscene profits for a few companies. It allows the UN
or the US, or whomever to more or less wash their hands of the dirty stuff, and ever increasingly, war, whether righteous or by choice, amounts to
little more than writing a check when the invoice arrives in the mail.
I do have a problem. The ongoing exploitation of women is offensive as is the denial, and yes I think its important to speak out and act out against
UN Rape and those who act to support it with misinformation.
Please take a moment to look into the problem with UN peacekeeper mission and US Aid associated with sex exploitation which continue without
reprecussions worldwide. Be aware there are many people who deny the well reported problem and it persists.
Al Franken is pushing some legislation to protect UN Contractors but falls short of protection of citizens.
As an aside, Franken, who was only recently seated, after a contentious election which he apparently won by like 3 votes, conducts himself like he was
born to be there. I've been greatly impressed by him.

Friday, BBC reported on studies and interviews that pin-point that at least 30% of US women serving in the middle east are raped.

Yes, much so... really liked his approach.. seems many others were offended
One 17 year old female in a platoon of 60? Tempting fate? Or was what that other female mentioned that since there are no prostitutes, there's an
insidious plan to "service the servicemen"? (In a war that didn't even need to be fought. If we had had the draft, this war would have never happened,
or would have been over very quickly. No nation building crap.)
In a perfect world, there would be safeguards. And there would be real punishment. But, in the short term, should there be some way to prevent the
opportunity? As in not deplying females into such venues? Or would there then be gender discrimination issues?
One bit of advice is just don't allow your daughter to volunteer for the service.
It's an awful situation and one which will be paid for for years to come with tremendous psychological cost.
You have the tools and skills, it would take less than second to verify facts?
Increasingly its apparent that Nomad Ignorance of the World around them combined with Absolute Arrogance is a significant leading cause for Nomads
support of the world-wide US backed corruption.
I hereby declare a moratorium on Nomad's Nonsense and request that Nomads research and read on subject matter and cite references with their Political
Posts.

Mexico needs more human and electronic intelligence and a hell of a lot more troops in the field than they have now so they can act on the
intelligence gathered. They sure as hell do not need the U.N.
