USA..Liberia is begging for your help. Are you willing to help?

[Curval]

No oil, no WMDs...just a country that keeps tearing itself apart due to corruption and internal power struggles.

You guys are being asked, no begged, for help.

Will the US do so?

[AKWeav]

Isn't Liberia the country that produces all those special U.S. coins sold to collectors?

Ya got a link to where they are begging for help?

[Pooh21]

I say let the whole continent go to hades, and then turn it into giant Safari-Land. They need more of them ghost and the darkness lions, beserk rhinos, spear chucking cannibals, and all that fun stuff.

I'd be willing to help.

The question I have is, can the US help everyone who asks? Probably not, and it would be foolish to say we could.

The US went into Iraq and Alfghanistan not to help, but because they were a perceived threat to us.

Maybe we could help, who knows?? We went into Somolia, Bosnia, Alfgahnistan, and other places that didnt have oil or resources.

Maybe the UN could step in and give a resolution or two....that would help I bet.

Curval, a better question is: what will the UN do? Isnt the UN our guiding light?

I wouldn't want the US to "go it alone"

[Curval]

There aren't asking for UN help..there are asking for US help.

We all know the UN is a toothless tiger..and so do they apparently.

I feel sorry for the people, I really do. They know the UN can't help them. I wish we could help everyone. I suppose we would be bashed in some way or other if we went to Liberia though.


It sucks that some counties are run by thugs and the people have to suffer. I wish I were God and could fix everything.........I would never refuse to help anyone personaly, other than murderers and the like

i can see the headlines now, "US INVADES LIBERIA","NO BLOOD FOR LIBERIA"

on a bigger view, if you want the USA to stop all the killing in africa (impossible) the US would have to "occupy" the whole continent (also impossible).

this is a job for the UN.

liberia is in no way threat to USA, it's just ridcules.

France is supporting the idea of an international intervention in Liberia.

So f*ck 'em...

(when in doubt, do the opposite of what France is doing).

I hope France gets full UN approval first......


Maybe 15 years of inspections will help them.

Curval is the typical whiner.  Your hatred of the US is blatant in your posts.  You cry because we go into Iraq.  If we'd gone into Liberia, you'd cry about that.  

Why aren't you posting about what a joke their president is?  Why don't you actually learn about the situation in Liberia, before you come on the BBS and shoot your mouth off.  

Taylor is the problem, why the heck would we help him?  We told him we'd come to Liberia as soon as he stepped down.  He's more concerned with us bailing him out and securing his power.  He's a criminal.

Marlet,

You are full of it.  Check back a few months and you will see I fully supported the US action in Iraq.  I did so based on the reports that Iraq had WMDs in massive quanties, and the fact that Sadaam was a nutcase.  I still support the action although I now don't believe a word your President says..I don't like being lied to, as I have also said on these boards.

Taylor is a crimminal, on par with Hussein if you look at his record.  It isn't his pleas for help that I am focusing on...it is the people depositing the bodies of their family members on the US embassy's doorstep that I believe should be helped.  Deposing Taylor should be step 1 for the US/UN/France whoever.

Just be certain you know what you are talking about before knee-jerk reacting in your typical way.  I'd very much like you to show me where I have ever even hinted that I hate the USA on these boards..in fact if you spend the time you will see I am very fond of the US and "most" of its people.

Who's going to help.........me?

Heck no it's nasty there.
