Let the protagonists duke it out and wear whatever consequences that follow. And limit the bloodshed and financial debt burden to them and them alone!
Were the U.N adequately funded? Perhaps there would be a case for a blue helmet peacekeeper role that would need to remain for decades and at a huge cost! But given it's not adequately funded!?
And guess who decided to pull their (main portion) funding contribution? D.T., Delerium Tremors? No, surely not him again?
Or perhaps it's those virtual dictators/unelected swill, behind the scene, who never ever have to face the peoples' judgement on anything, could be there for life, decide what laws we must obey, what rights we have and what the funding priorities are, via, yes minister advice? Just a thought.
