What Canada needs is a thorough examination of the ways and means of "peacekeeping" - and "peacemaking" - something that has never been done. Instead, Canada has pursued what is essentially a non-combat policing role. It has not used quality intelligence gathering and processing or clever strategic planning and execution. Finally, there has been no methodology in place for  either risk / benefit analysis or for results evaluation. There has been no "after action" de-briefing or methodology re-formulation. These three are all mission critical exercises. In short, the wonder is that things have gone on without serious consequences - for all. What to do? Where to start? Leave the texts on military tactics and strategies where they belong - in the library. Instead, start by examining China's 2300 year old methodology for war-ending and peace-biuilding. It worked then. It can work again. http://tinyurl.com/897kb6p
