Sorry, Vera, but I must correct one inference you made
from my e-mail about America's role in the Libeian
conflict. My statement regarding America's heart and soul
was not implying that America's heart and soul are WITH
Liberia. Quite to the contrary! The comparisons I cited
about America's response in Bosnia versus Rwanda and in
Afghanistan and Iraq versus Sierra Leone and Liberia were
designed to paint a picture that says America cares little
or nothing about Africa. At least, that's how it appears
to me.
Thanks for sharing.
