New Idiotic U.N. Campaign Aims to Disarm Gangsters

An interesting find in this evenings news. The U.N. is now trying to appease gangs in Haiti with promises of food, money and job training. This is really going to work, just like the "guns for basketball tickets" programs work here in America. Here is the story:

Haiti's government and U.N. peacekeepers will launch a major campaign seeking to persuade hundreds of gangsters to disarm with promises of money, food and job training, but top gang leaders will not be eligible

Special U.N. envoy Edmond Mulet said officials would begin airing radio and television ads in coming days to inform the public about the disarmament plan.

The move represents the most sweeping effort to persuade gangsters to lay down their weapons and rejoin society since U.N. troops arrived in the nation two years ago.

This is what all of the money that America sends to support the U.N. is spent on? Offering gang members the opportunity to become what they despise? Gang members become gang members because they want the feeling of belonging to the "gang family" and the feeling of power over those who are considered weaker to them. The government may not believe in capitol punishment for wrong doing, but the gangs do. Even if one of these guys wanted out, the fear of Voodoo curses, along with the fear of gang punishment for selling out and leaving the gang will keep these guys home come "sign up day" for this U.N. program.

Hint to the U.N. (free of charge), recommend to the Haitians that they arrest these gang members, try them, convict them and remove them from society. That might just work a little better than offering them a job at the local Wal Mart (sorry, I could not think of anything made in Haiti other than drugs and Voodoo charms).
