if the us was going to honesty 'liberate' people everywhere we'd be seeing C-130s landing in Harare by now. Think those pics are bad, you should see all the images I've got from Chechnya. If anyone ever wants to know what war really looks like pick up Inferno, it's a retrospective of the last 10 years of James Nachtwey's work. Blows the mind. Or pick up a copy of 8, it picks up a lot of photos that otherwise would never get published.

A friend of mine is from Bosnia and has seen the UN in (in)action first hand. He's rightfully derisive of them.
The whole world is suffering a credibility and moral crisis right now. We need a hero.

The recent news against the UN peacekeeping forces that allegedly raped those they were assigned to help is particularly disturbing. The psychology of being in a war-torn country can't be good for anyone and someone really needs to redesign how the aid workers interact with the citizens.
