Liberia, a nation that was founded in the early 1800s by freed U.S. slaves

Wrong.

"African nations want the United States to do more to end the bloodshed in the western Africa nation..."

Oh no, that would not do at all. After all, we are listening to your criticism with open ears and do not want to become imperialists ~in your eyes~. We can just let the UN do its work as peacekeeping and keep our hands out of it so that we don't offend you with an Imperial appearing move.

Both Bush and Mbeki suggested that the U.S.contribution might be mainly of a non-combat variety.

"We need a lot of support, logistics-wise and so on," Mbeki said.

Mbeki said that the military burden in Liberia peacekeeping "really ought to principally fall on us as Africans."

They need logistic support from the US, a country thousands of miles away across the Atlantic Ocean, to help them stage logistics to support their own troops on their own continent?

Are they sure this is a good idea with the US being the biggest threat there is to world peace? /sarcasm

Very good news from President Bush. I hope he doesn't send the troops to this quagmire.
