Well, good thing we have a Republican in office so our military won't be strung out all over ther world...never mind.

Haha...I think this is a perfect example of the double-standard the U.S. is held to by the rest of the world. If we exercise our sovereignty and act in our own best interests by invading Iraq, we're condemned for it - yet when it comes to Liberia, the U.N. and the French (snicker) totally support U.S. involvement. Bottom line: we're paying for Liberia's stability in American blood and we stand to gain nothing from it. I feel for the Liberians, but this should be a U.N. intervention. No other country has the stones to step in alongside us (and I'm not talking about some token Polish soldiers) and help out.
