France sending 2,000 troops to Lebanon
Mostly armed with begets and a nice bottle of red wine, the French hope to be able to sneer their way to peace in the middle east. It is also thought that there will be a great deal of deep conversations, in the 2 remaining cafes of Beirut, in regards to the overall exploitation of the peasant class. The French have also requested the Jerry Lewis be the only American allowed to spend time with them, unless Johnny Dep is available.
Aside from France and Italy, other nations considering contributions include Spain, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Greece, and Belgium. Turkey, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand and China also are considering participating in the U.N. mission.
Ok now there is a stellar group of countries known for their military might. I would agree however that the Germans are somewhat familiar with forming an army and the Chinese could send a few million troops, but Nepal?
I wonder if the Fins will be bringing skis?
Many European countries also have expressed qualms over committing troops without strong guidelines on when its soldiers would have the right to shoot and also defend themselves.
Oh sure, now you want rules?
I think it is time to let this become the standard way of doing things. I am so in favor of becoming a neutral power, let’s be the really big Switzerland. We could simply nod and be really critical of those countries that send troops to foreign shores. We could make really cool watches and maybe become a great place for casinos to hide their money. We could just tell everyone we are Canadians and then the world would think us a nice place to visit but not a real threat to anyone.
Hell we could become the call center for companies all over the world, so instead of calling 1-800-india…. well you get the idea.
