 As we watch the Euros roll back the UN resolutions even further ... | HELSINKI - Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi insisted on Sunday that an EU mission along LebanonÂ’s border with Syria would be staffed by civilians and not troops.
Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of a Europe-Asia summit in Helsinki, Prodi stressed that he and Syrian President Bashar Al Assad had agreed that the mission would have ‘no military character’.
Because the military is ucky, and it might upset people. | Prodi, whose country is playing a leading role in a UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, said that the border mission would focus on providing technical aid on such things as training.
Training for what? Not military training, perchance? |
