'peace keepers' do not promote peace. to believe that soldiers promote peace is to hold a very narrow understanding. conflict between a nation's people and it's rulers results in foreign rulers sending troops and other assistance to assist the embattled rulers in their subduing their people because the interests of rulers of different nations are similar. the interests of the ruled of different nations are also similar. restoring 'peace' is code for restoring the war the rulers wage everyday upon the people with economic means. against their war. against their peace.
