Mia Farrow, the actress and activist, has asked Blackwater, the US private security company active in Iraq, for help in Darfur after becoming frustrated by the stalled deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping force.Ms Farrow said she had approached Erik Prince, founder and owner of Blackwater, to discuss whether a military role was either feasible or desirable.
“The people in the camps would say ‘we don’t care whether it’s Blackwater, any-water, as long as they help us’,” she told the Financial Times.
No, no, no, no, no!
First off, asking mercenaries if a military role is ‘feasable or desirable’ is going to come up with one answer. Yes. Because they will find a reason.
And secondly, Blackwater? Has Mia seen Blackwaters CV? How many Dafurians(?) is Mia willing to sacrifice?
