Liberia.
I'm concerned about the election coming up. There still (according to polls if you can believe them) an uphill battle to remove bush in the election of 2004

However, I'd like to point out that this HIPPOCRACY is surely not going to help out the Democrats in any way.

Before Iraq, we were saying..
1. Wait for the UN
2. Dont do anything w/out the UN
3. the Insutrial/Military complex should STOP getting involved in other countries and we should mind our own business.

WHY IN THE WORLD is Jesse Jackson and others calling Bush a racist for NOT going into Liberia.

Where do we stand on this? Now we have troops going there... *sigh* I thought that was a BAD idea? the UN is not going there, there's no UN mandate, and the European Union is saying nothing...

But now we have warships and aircraft carries headed that way.

Should we be there or not?

1. Liberia is an International UN Effort

Kofi Annan asked Bush to send troops. Jesse Jackson said we should be internationalists, not isolationists.

If Bush sends an independent US force to roll both the government and rebel armies, then he's doing what we did in Iraq. Not what Jesse is proposing.
