Came to this --late! -- by way of Hot Air. My only quibble is the gendarmes have spears. An accurate depiction would show them armed with nosegays or swag bags with complimentary Hermès toiletries to pacify the Taliban.
The truth is Afghanistan doesn't need 5 or 500 or 5,000 Euro-peacekeepers. It needs soldiers. Guys with guns and mission. Europa of course has precious few soldiers, but plenty of peacekeepers with, in the case of the Belgians, toy guns.
