.... that we cannot safely send in JUST UN Peacekeepers at this point?
I agree, that would be ideal. I would venture to guess as someone with two-life long Pakistani friends in who's country he lived one summer that the President would agree with you to. (The campaign down-played this fact so effectively that I dont think most of us realize just how well he understands the area and the circumstances involved.) But I honestly think we'd be putting them in harms way if we do not first attempt to stabilize the situation.
If a man is beating his wife and she's bleeding, sure, we have to send an ambulance to her but we have to send in the police FIRST or else the paramedics may be injured to a point where they cannot help the wife.
That's the way I see it anyway.
