Never-before-seen video of a peacekeeping intervention to end war

Short clip:

From Twitter: @undispatch:

@bill_easterly instead of trying to be funny, can you actually explain your beef with peacekeeping?

Well, @undispatch, if you click on the category, "aid goes military" at the bottom of this post, you will get more than you probably want to hear from this blog on this topic. You are also welcome to check out my New York Review of Books article Aid goes military!

For the video, HT James Rauch at UCSD. Would anyone like to nominate someone most likely to be the real life counterpart to Robur in this video?
