We share much of the interfactional comunitie's concerns with recent actions taken by "hardline" peacekeepers, which seem to be going against the desires and requests of various factions. We do see the need for the Peacekeepers, and their mission, BUT, we also see a need for restraint. It seems that neither the Believers, the Gaians, nor the Cult of Planet have requested assistance from the U.N., and forces in the area have hardly provided a neutral calming affect. But we do commend the U.N. for the humanitarian relief that they HAVE provided in helping those fleeing war zones.

Let the record show that the Data Angels have voiced their concerns and that the Peacekeepers accept them as valid and legitimate.
We would like to address some of these points in a little more detail...
First of all, let me stress that we're all concerned about the current situation on the Western Continent and the deployment of foreign troops there (PK troops included). We also have to admit that the deployment of U.N. forces in the region has not had the desired effect on the overall situation, although we HAVE accomplished our mission on a smaller scale, protecting the innocent and providing disaster relief. That said, there is currently some concern amongst us that things may have gotten a little out of hand with the troop deployments and that we've ended up acting more as a third party to the conflict than as neutral peacekeepers. We are currently taking steps to remedy the situation and ease the tensions that have unfortunately arisen.
Which brings me to the point that U.N. actions
seem to be going against the desires and requests of various factions.
It is unfortunate and regrettable that some people have come to feel threatened or even mistreated by the U.N. This is clearly something we shall strive to avoid in the future. I should point out, however, that we can not let our actions be governed by those who have no regard for our Charter, or who actively seek to prevent its enforcement. Nor could we sit idly by and watch a humanitarian disaster simply because there was no political consensus on how to handle it in the interfactional community. We had to act and we did so with good intentions. Sadly, certain people failed to recognize this and regarded our presence an "unjust interference" rather than a humanitarian effort and a peace initiative. Even more regrettably, it became necessary to station troops in the region to protect U.N. personnel and civilians from the more aggressive elements of such groups. Tragically, a number of armed incidents have occurred since the deployment of these troops and they have been forced to defend themselves on a few occasions.
We do see the need for the Peacekeepers, and their mission, BUT, we also see a need for restraint.

Besides, they put the lives of their mindworms above that of their people.
