Azred!! I'm shocked! Peacekeeping is not bullying! Southern Sudan has needed this for many many years, and I say better late than never!

As for mercenaries, these people have lived with mercenaries and militias for long enough - they now need troops with a sense of honour, duty and a belief in doing what's right, not simply killing for the next buck.

Plus, consider that a vast number (the majority?) of the abuses in Iraq were conducted by these dodgy private security contractors which brought such disrepute on America's name - I'd be doubly wary of resorting to this in the future.
