It seems I never catch you when you're on. Oh well. Here's another good question for you (again...no one else will be getting this one.) I'm going to be reciting this information from memory, so if I get my facts screwed up, I apologize. Remember the revolution which occurred in the nation of Sierra Leone, back in 1997, I believe? The Rebel United Front went around mutilating people, the government was in exile, and the UN was called in to set things straight. Well, after a long, long time, no progress had been made. So the government in exile called in a mercenar- *cough* *cough* uh, I mean, a Private Military Company (PMC) from South Africa, called Executive Outcomes. Those guys went in, and in a few months, they had ended the rebellion. Of course, Sierra Leone's government didn't want to keep paying them, so they kicked them out. And soon after they did, the RUF was back. Another PMC, Sandline International (this one from Britain) was called in around 1999 I believe, to do the same thing EO had done. I'm not sure if that one worked. In any case, EO and Sandline are both defunct now, but other PMC's are still around. It seems that they can do things faster and more efficiently than the UN, and their price tag is cheaper too. It's a prime example of the extremes of Capitalism, but they seem to do a good job. What do you think?
