Just to amplify on the post below, the only interest the US has in Liberia is that which the greatest and most good of nations would have in seeing the promise of every human being realized. While this is not a vellity, nor is it of such urgency that we can blithely let our attention to concrete interests in the steady flow of oil and the gradual decrease of terrorism wane in order to address it. When France and Germany get off their butts and help us restore and maintain order in the Persian Gulf, we'll have a better set of resources for helping out in Liberia. Until then, we'd suggest that Kofi Anan ask Mr. Chirac for some troops, since Jacques' opinions are so essential to the functioning of the UN as a morally sound body whereas we seem merely to render foul all we touch.
