Pray tell, why is Africa so dysfunctional? And why should we care? 15 billion dollars down a rathole is enough price to pay for awhile-- I don't think one soldier should die for a continent that is committed to its own destruction.

No Thanks!

Sending our boys to Liberia will result in a Somailia or Beirut incident--

This is nonsense.

The former ambassador to Liberia was just now on Special Edition with Brit Hume, and he said a small force could do the job.

The Liberians WANT the Americans in; there's just a small group in the government that are propping up Charles Taylor.

Someone (or many) need to tell him to go to Nigeria, which has signaled it would take him.

In fact, the amabassador thinks just the talk of going in may do the trick.

People are being slaughtered, and, in this case, a small expenditure of men and material can resolve a horrible situtation.

We're going to go.
