...sending in a U.N. peacekeeping force was "neither realistic, nor viable" and - appropriating the White House's language - suggested the formation a multinational "coalition of the willing." Ban knows full well that no one is willing. The African Union, which promised 8,000 peacekeepers, has supplied just 1,600 Ugandan troops.

The government has completed its tour. And over the coming month, the LRA delegation plans town-hall meetings and visits to a few of countless barren camps where the LRA's scarred, bereaved victims reside...
...Echo, the headquarters of Multinational Division Central-South, is a virtual Tower of Babel where more than 200 Americans and most of the 900-strong Polish force work and live alongside 100 Mongolians, 62 Romanians, 46 Armenians, 36 Bosnians, 27 Ukrainians, a Lithuanian, a Latvian and a bunch of Ugandan guards.
