Quite.
Libya is a militia based armed revolution.
In ivory coast the Democratically elected leader is being blocked from taking rightful power. And despite the UN already having feet on the ground. It really is disgusting.

Remember the UN had feet on the ground in Bosnia and did not intervene when one of the militias rounded up civilians for a bit of ethnic cleansing.
theres a huge difference between ivory coast and libya...
they should just assasinate the guy refusing to give up power.. stick some special forces team in with a sniper rifle or just drop a cruise missile on his ass
Good luck with getting that one past the UN Security Council.
quickest way to stop all the ivory coast madness, just kill anyone who tries to be in power when they havent bene elected , probably only take 1 death

You are assuming, of course that any election was conducted fairly, evryone who had the right to vote was able and the count was done fairly and accurately.
That excludes a lot of African elections for a start.

Well the UN was there to help the process and ensure that it was fair.
What kind of precedent do we set by telling the world that they must become Democratic and then send peacekeeping forces in to ensure the votes and then ... well your on your own? We will impose democracy as a system, but we wont enforce the result.
How can that be right?

Yea i would have been satisfied if they had gone in and sorted it out 6 months ago when this all began...
And are thery going in because of the regime change or simply because the 11 UN peacekeepers were shot?!
honestly it makes me sick.

From the statement by the UN rep it appears that the crime was attacking the UN soldiers. Which means, like Libya they couldn't give a XXXX about the ordinary people.
The same could be said about when Israel bombed the **** out of Palestinians in 2008, where was the no fly zone to protect civilians then? what about when Saakashvili of Georgia who is still considered a close ally by the west launched an artillery attack on South Ossetia and Abkhazia? there's one rule for our allies and another for our enemies.

It is more worrying than interesting!
They have stayed around 50/50 for a week now at least.
Why do you say this?
