UN troops 'armed DR Congo rebels' by DesertRat662008-04-28 08:08:56
  Would you prefer to let the war rage unchecked? by Peace_man 2008-04-28 11:33:21
Let the US supply the arms, and let every man and woman defend themselves? That would be one method to ensure no wrong-doing by UN forces.

Of course, it is possible that a few rotten apples are taken as representative of an entire nations' forces, or even of all UN forces, and condemns them? If this is what people want to hear, then I'm sure the news media will be happy to oblige.

Of course, another way to take this story would be to focus on the good that UN troops can do, and take stories like the one you posted as incentive to create better safeguards against corruption. Or would that be giving the UN too much credit?
