A king without a sword - a land without a king -
A truth without a voice - one song left to sing...
One song to sing.
A wise man told me theres something you should know:
The way you judge a man is you look into his soul
And youll soon see everything.
A voice from the past cried, Give peace a chance!
He paid our price now hes free at last; And imagine -
We called him a dreamer.
How many times must good men die?
How many tears will the children cry...
Till we suffer no more sadness?
Stop the madness.
Oh, stop the madness.
If ashes are ashes and dust is dust,
At our journeys end, then we turn to rust -
To the sands of the shore.
White doves in flight - peace to war -
But, tell me why the peacemakers fall.
Must we bury any more?
The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by -
The black lace veil hid her tears from my eyes...
And we all wept in silence.
How many times must good men die?
How many times will the children cry...
Till they suffer no more sadness?
Oh, stop the madness.
Oh, stop all the madness

My uncle was with the U.N. Peacekeepers in Cyprus and Israel during the 60's and they were woefully unarmed. All they could do was watch the bullets fly over their heads. It's only in the last few years that Canada's peacekeepers in Afghanistan have been given the tools to do the job and it's made a big difference. If keeping the peace means killing some Al Qaeda and Taliban, fine. Better than the Dutch peacekeepers who had to stand by and watch genocide in Rwanda. A big kid beats up a small kid in the playground, a peacekeeper is a bigger kid who prevents this.

To keep peace or otherwise blast you to pieces.
Or, it could be that the masses don't readily recognize any authority in a person unless he carries a gun. Doesn't mean he'll use it (we like to think that, but.....)
Or maybe cus they're not really peace keepers, they may keep upheaval and dangerous uprisings at bay, but they don't actually *keep peace.*

well, first of all the definition is skewed. the original spelling of the occupation was: piece keepers. you know, a gun is often refferred to as a piece. so the one's actually tasked with taking care of the guns or "pieces", were "piece keepers". now i don't know where or when or who changed the spelling of the term, but piece keepers still keep the peace when they reveal their arsonals. also a term misspelled from the original; generals with arsons.

Peacekeepers by definition bypass into unpeaceful situations that are volitile. they ought to guard themselves as do police officials, as well as be plausible to each and each area contained in the conflict zone.

good point....
i think it's because they see peace as 'accepting their views' and if the other parties doesn't they use the guns on the 'terrorist' who doesn't accpet their own views.

Why do politicians claim they are in politics to help the people but yet get paid
