MONROVIA, Feb 21 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush arrived on Thursday in Liberia, the United States' staunchest ally in Africa, on the fifth and final stop of his visit to the world's poorest continent.

Air Force One, carrying Bush and his wife Laura, landed at Monrovia's Spriggs Payne airport. It was the first visit in 30 years by a U.S. president to Liberia, Africa's first republic founded by freed slaves from America in 1847.

I’ll never forget one of Liberia’s civil war faction leaders was wearing a t-shirt, “I want to be a millionaire” under a Bed Franklin C-note.
