See you in Liberia???
Talk to me about Liberia and why we're going there?
Some believe it's because we want to make a good impression with the UN since we ***** slapped each other before the war. Others say it's because we can count out Great Britain from our next desert takeover. Thoughts...

There is no mystery that I am aware of over the reasons for "going to Liberia", the administration had little choice but to bow to international pressure to intervene in a massive human rights genocide, or else more or less come out and admit our hypocracy over supposed (new) reasons for Iraq war. And BTW, yesterday we definitely were not going to help. Today, MIRACLE!, the policy changed. Like I said, political pressure.
Being one who will accept any motive for helping these poor, god-forsaken people, I'll take this motive, Thank you very much. We have a unique obligation to help them, IMO, since their butcher leader is nothing more than a former thug from Boston, Charles Taylor.

You mean Liberal Democrat from Boston and ardent Kennedy supporter...Charles Taylor
Liberia was founded after the Civil War by ex-American slaves.

Tabs, provide some background on that first statement, I have not read this before. And the second statement is common knowledge to anyone who can read.

Liberia: another sore spot in our U.S. history. To me it was a cop out to "offer" an African country to ex-slaves even if a good portion of them were not from Africa, but really from the U.S.
