In The Atlantic’s series of 15 suggestions to save our economy, this one ranks low with me. Author James Gibney suggests that we employ private military companies to go on peacekeeping missions and to eradicate insurgencies.
Gibney believes that these fighters will be less corrupt than the UN peacekeepers that have, on numerous occasions, cooperated and made deals with the very people they are trying to disperse.
Maybe I am just suspicious of private companies, since their main goal is to make a profit for themselves, but I don’t see that our expenses due to UN failures are that great.
