First thanks to "philip y" for the germ of the idea for this question.
Stay tuned. I've got another one for tomorrow with a wild life preservation theme.

Rules for answering.

1. Keep it clean, no obscenities.

2. Make a statement about one then about the other. E.g., “Peace Keepers wear blue helmets. Ref wears striped shirt.” If the statement applies to both then it’s OK to say “Both have selective blindness”. Setting up columns is OK if you can figure it out.

3. Back your answers up with reliable sources. Your cousin isn’t a reliable source unless she has special KNOWLEDGE of the subject (e.g., The ROCK or UN Peace keepers). Obvious bias (overlooking or exaggerating pluses and faults) may get you disqualified.

4. Spelling and grammar count.

I will judge the answers as fairly as I can. So, take your best shot. And no, this is NOT a homework assignment.

lol UN peacekeepers.
well, for starters, what they have in common: they are not nearly as important or as popular as the fighters themselves. if there were no wrestlers (or no armies) neither of them would have a reason to exist. as you correctly stated, they both use subjective judgement and have been known to selectively forget certain things. and last, the referees in a match, like the UN peacekeepers, have no physical ability to control the fighters. they just call the rules and expect the producers to enforce it. sometimes in wrestling matches, one fighter loses his temper and goes after the other guy completely ignoring the ref. same thing happens in war
now the contrast: in wrestling, even the most fanatical fans respect the ref being there. not so in war.
the refs can generally get instant help to enforce his calls. the fighters get out of line, someone jumps in to separate them within seconds. not so in war.
when the ref calls a winner, even when it's controversial, it's accepted. in war, there are usually no technical victories; the war isn't over until one side is crushed.
refs are in there with a bit of autonomy -- they make snap judgement calls, and the producers back it up. in war, the diplomats only do what their bosses tell them to do.
a ref's career is not judged by how many victories he gets for the "good guy." they just show up and call a match.
refs are there not to make them stop, but to let them fight it out in a fair way. diplomats are supposed to call a ceasfire. you don't hear fans saying, man that fight went on and on -- that ref couldn't get them to stop.

that's all I can think of for now. hope my answer is to your liking.
