So do you want to send them or not?? You say you want us to "be a force for good" but at the same time agree with parabellum who doesn't want us involved unless a string of conditions are complied with which are very unlikely to be met. There is almost zero chance of a fullUN resolution in time to be any help for these girls; the Nigerians (or any other nation) are simply not going to allow foreign military free reign in their country without some measure of involvement or control.

To be fair, these contradictions are representative of the very difficult situation we face, particularly when a request for help from the host state is tardy or non-existent.
