The UN has asked Britain to send a peacekeeping force, and the EU is currently considering sending one too. I'm not sure how effective it will be though as in these sorts of situations are very difficult to manage, and it is easy to begin taking sides and you end up with some of the terrible situations that occurred in Somalia and Bosnia. Is it better than doing nothing? I don't know, but certainly we should at least try to make a difference. I suppose it will come down to how well it is run, and whether it is even *possible* to make a difference when things seem to have descended to this level of chaos.
