Sticks and Stones May Break Their Bones...

...but if you throw eggs at French UN troops, they will give up their weapons???

Villagers disarm UN patrol in south Lebanon - Residents of Tuline pelt UNIFIL troops with rocks, eggs, briefly take over vehicle before army staves them off

quote:

Villagers disarmed a French patrol of UN peacekeepers Saturday and attacked them with sticks, rocks and eggs in south Lebanon, in the latest in a string of such incidents, the Lebanese army said.

"Residents of the village of Tuline as well as some villagers from nearby Kabrikha attacked a patrol with sticks and threw stones and eggs," a military spokesman told AFP...

..."The arms were returned to UNIFIL and the incident is closed," he said, referring to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon which patrols the border region with Israel...

...In one incident, protesters pelted stones at UNIFIL vehicles, slightly injuring a peacekeeper.

So let me get this right. One French peacekeeper was "slighty" injured by a rock, and they gave up their weapons. This is a textbook example of why politically correct actions could get you killed, because you can be killed by stoning, and also why if it wasn't for U.S. troops during WWll the French would now be speaking German.
