U.N. Forces Using Tougher Tactics to Secure Peace
N.Y.TIMES: By MARC LACEY
NAIROBI, Kenya, May 22 - The United Nations, burdened by its inability to stave off the mass killings in Rwanda in 1994 and by failed missions in Bosnia and Somalia, is allowing its peacekeepers to mount some of the most aggressive operations in its history.
The change has been evolving over the last decade, as the Security Council has adopted the notion of "robust peacekeeping" and rejected the idea that the mere presence of blue-helmeted soldiers on the ground helps quell combat.

Wow, I can't even imagine how "mere blue-helmeted soldiers" (I mean, mere "Dead" blue-helmeted soldiers) did not somehow raise this censorious situation to IMMEDIATE red-flag!
Talk about procrastination! FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE! I guess this pathetic bureaucracy never went to boys camp. (Uh-come to think of it, neither did I) ha.
So, what's the bottom-line for a decision a decade in the making? Can they expect "robust peacekeeping" in like what? -2015?
