Horror in Liberia....

Three weeks after President Bush pledged American assistance in restoring security in Liberia, there is still no word on how, when, where or even if the U.S. will intervene.

While I oppose unilateral U.S. intervention, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan has been practically begging Bush to send in U.S. troops as an incentive for other nations to get involved. While Bush crows about supporting freedom and opposing terrorism worldwide, civilians continue to be murdered, starved and brutalized in this country that the U.S. helped to found 150 years ago.

Our inaction is shameful.
