$7.1 Billion.  Peacekeeping troops in the last ten years went from 38,100 to 108,000.  Are we a safer world? 

Solution?  Fuck 'em...that's what.    Why keep throwing money away, when we can't win?  Let China help them.  Let Iran feed them.  Let the world live for a while without us to kick around.
