Every United Nations peacekeeping force should work toward its own dissolution. Otherwise, it is no peacekeeping force; it is a welfare program for participating nations funded by the United States’s taxpayers and the rest of the world.

High on the list of these offenders is the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Established 47 years ago to keep the peace between Israel and Lebanon, UNIFIL can no longer claim to be an “interim” force — it currently boasts 13,000 personnel and a $538 million budget. Worse, UNIFIL has utterly failed to uphold its own mission.
