Jesse Walker has an editorial connecting the dots between Iraq and Liberia. "With the national-security arguments for the Iraq war in tatters," he writes, "the only remaining justifications for that war are the nastiness of the Ba'athist regime and the alleged benefits of American nation-building. And those, adjusted just slightly for local conditions, are the arguments we hear for sending U.S. troops to Liberia." This could really go on forever. Is it rude to point out how many Chevron ships have sailed under a Liberian flag?
