To blatantly rip off a line from Kate at Small Dead Animals, now is the time when we juxtapose.

May 2006: The United Nation’s “sex-for-food” scandal continues to spread. As the human rights group Save the Children documents in a new report, U.N. peacekeepers in the war-torn, refugee-rich Liberia have been accused of selling food for sex from girls as young as 8.

August 2009: Afghanistan has enacted a new legislation empowering men of Shia sect of Islam to deny their wives food and sustenance if they refuse to obey their husbands’ sexual demands, a media report said on Saturday.

We can pooh-pooh this all we want, and judge to our heart’s content, but countries who send the blue-helmeted bastards over to war-torn countries with plenty of condoms and no guns with which to protect people are just as guilty.
