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.


Sorry.  

I'm sick of the world expecting the US to be their saviour.  We'll do it when and if we want to.  We aren't beholden to anyone.  Half the countries that cry to us for help, scream for our demise as soon as they are back on their feet.

The US is the bad guy whether they help or not.  I'm getting sick of helping any of you ungrateful leeches anymore.

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.


Whattaloadacrap.  SuperJizz has been very supportive of the USA.

Fair enough.

I know the US can never really "win" in international politics, its unfair and the US draws significant undeserved criticism at every turn.  

In this case, however, the people are screaming for direct intervention by the United States, not the UN.  That actually is a very telling situation and one which is a point of pride for the United States.  The people want peace over there so that they can live without a constant threat of war and see the US as the only country potentially willing and able to devote the resourses to do it based on recent events in Iraq.

We can all sit back and say Africa is, and always has been, a festering cesspool of corruption and dictatorships and that it isn't our problem.  Liberia is just one country and the US can't help everyone.  I just can't help thinking that this is a great chance for the US to start something that just might turn that situation around.

USA is chery picking the countries they want to help depending on what they can have in return. What's new? EVERY country is more or less doing it, i's Geopolitic 101.

The "we are going there to help thos epoor peopel" is for the public opinion to justify the cost/losses, rwal reason is always money or protection.

Liberia is split into 3 factions and has been since the late 1800's. There are 2 native tribes and a third group that is decendant of former Americans Slaves that were given their freedom and sent back to Africa after the American Civil War. The 2 Native Tribes HATE (if that is a strong enough word) the former slaves for their "White Man" ways. There was a coup in the 70's and one of the Native Tribes took control of government and immediately begain mass executions. The US stepped in and negotiated a peace. Since then it has been coup after bloody coup with the factions trading power. If they want to kill themselves, let them. They want no part of a peacefull existance.

15,000 DAMMMMMMM! I never saw one! I must have been blind. Where were they stationed? Can you name a city for me please? Not to discredit you, just for my general knowledge.

Nuke, I spend some time as a Lt in the French Air Force Intel. I wished I could give you some sweet example of my country, or USA involvement in some areas of the globe. Gime a bunch of  example where you are not Cherry picking? Don't tell em you are a "soccer mom", I'll not believe it:D

1.   If the US goes in someone will object and then a boat load of other objectors will come forth.  If the US doesn't go in then that same someone will make all kinds of accusations ranging from being uncaring to cherry picking.  You can't win.

2.  If the French support intervention then I'm be very interested in seeing them go in and sort out the mess.  That would be very interesting indeed.  

3.  For ten points can anyone tell me how the French are/were involved with Somalia.
