CONGO CRISIS: Glenn Reynolds has posts up on the incompetence of both French and UN efforts to stop the slaughter in the Congo.

The question I'm trying to work out in my mind is whether the situation in the Congo is a fair test of the anti-war coalition's ability to defend international order and human rights without relying on American firepower.

Do the French and/or the UN leadership see this as a chance to demonstrate the falsehood of the United States' accusations of incompetence and amorality? Or are the French and the UN more interested in avoiding responsibility for an explosive ethnic war that may demonstrate to the world just how incompetent and amoral they are?

Answer: I don't know.
