From what i understand its not uncommon for PEacekeepers to allow the subject populations to be masacred . . . why should the Frnech be punished for it?

Because you can't hold the Belgians accountable... the soldiers involved in guarding a "safe zone" were all captured and tortured to death in front of the Canadian commander of the mission...
On another note I looked through the accounts of the French actions in the Genocide... umm... and the only references I found were to the French Foreign Legion going out on revenge missions against Hutus after they came upon a church "killing ground"... and yes there was mention of Hutu's being dropped from a helicopter - in the words of the French commander "do onto others as you yourself would have done onto you"; so the armed Hutu's were killed in the same manner as their victims...
The Canadian peacekeepers in the area tried to intervene but were outgunned - out numbered - and their vehicles had no fuel left... all a unfortunate result of the ceasation of fuel and ammo supplies from the UN because Delaire proposed the use of force to stop the genocide...
Frankly I do hope this goes to court and gets media attention, because then the deplorable actions of others may be exposed.
