TO HECK WITH LIBERIA! by Justin Raimondo
Of all places for the U.S. to intervene militarily, why oh why does it have to be Liberia?
I'll tell you why: political correctness. Liberia, you see, gives us a chance to "liberate" a country populated by blacks, and, furthermore, one that was supposedly founded by "freed slaves." So, you see, America is the "mother country," in this case, and we have an obligation to bail out the Liberians, who are really, in a sense, long-lost Americans.
Except that none of these assertions are true.
