Can't see who they would send to rescue the peacekeepers.

There will be some handwringing, and then they'll turn up dead.

I reckon they'll send more peacekeepers to find the missing ones. Probably won't find them in one piece though.

Depends who they send to find them. ;)

Pitiful?

Can I use that to describe the next US soldier that's captured doing their job then? Beautiful.

4 million people dead in the Congo since 1998- and not a peep from the West. Yet you feel it is your place to criticise the actions by the only people willing to try and improve it?

Nice.

I read somewhere that 500 UN Peacekeepers were kidnapped in Sierra Leone or some other country around there! Can you believe that?!

Edit: Not all at once. A gradual pitiful decline in Peacekeepers

You mean "pitiful Nepalese peacekeepers". And what do you expect? If the big countries don't put the work in, then small nations who really shouldn't have to must pick up the slack.

Good on the Nepalese for doing the right thing in the first place.
