Schlorff launches a blog
Daniel Aabye Rodriguez Schlorff, longtime friend, loyal Green Partyist, bassist, and unitarian (at last check), has launched a new blog to discuss the confluence of politics and theology. Dan and I might actually agree on the growing scandal involving UN peacekeepers raping and prostituting African women. Speaks Schlorff:
Should the Green Party ignore fact that U.N. Peacekeepers pose a global security threat, as indicated in Kofi Annan’s February report?
I'm not sure that peacekeepers are a global security threat--actually quite the opposite. The problem with UN peacekeepers is the same as the problem with the broader UN: fecklessness. UN peacekeepers watched like Nero when Screbrenica was massacred and they haven't even been present in Rwanda or Darfur--perhaps because Kofi Annan was busy embezzling oil-for-food money, or at least turning a blind eye while Kojo did. Yet, as Powerline points out, Kofi Annan still feels the need to lecture Americans on the UN's moral superiority, and American liberals so often seem genuinely disturbed by Annan's windy hectoring. Yet from the UN, it's 'do as I say, not as I do.' Here is an example from Reuters):
NEW YORK -- UN peacekeepers have been banned from all sex with the local population in Congo because of widespread, continuing abuse of women and girls.In the past year the UN investigated 150 allegations against 50 soldiers of sexual exploitation of women and girls.
Children as young as 12 or 13 were bribed with eggs, milk or a few dollars in exchange for sex, UN reports said.
...
The rules would apply only to Congo, the largest of the 16 UN peacekeeping missions around the world, UN spokesman Ari Gaitanis said.
UN regulations for soldiers usually forbid sex with anyone under 18 and forced prostitution. But often officials found there was a fine line between forced and willing sex.
I don't think that there's a single American schoolteacher, priest, camp counselor, sports coach, or anyone else who could successfully argue that having sex with teenage girls is morally excusable because there is a "fine line." Only in the UN and in American liberalism are such moral issues considered "fine lines."
