"The mistake in Iraq was in botching the diplomacy so horribly .... even if you accept that an invasion in that manner was the right thing to do at that time, which many don't including myself, you have to admit that there was gross failure in the building of a coalition ... the phoney coalition they ended up with was a joke, just Blair and Howard trailing along as ever-faithful puppies, and the poles sending a couple of hundreds ... very poor showing for a bunch wanting to rule the planet, that they could not do better than this" Don't forget that Denmark was one of the willing and sent a submarine to the desert war.

I hope you will post any articles on Africa you may find to my thread. I'm trying to post all articles- without regard to political bias (within reason, of course- I'm not posting some of the more bizarre blog species- but I guess I don't care if other people do). I like your thinking on Liberia, probably because I agree with it :-) And I love the Canuck Test for foreign wars. As an aside, regarding Canucks, I just read a wonderful short story about the dedicated Canadians who cared for Irish immigrants from the potato famine, who arrived in Canada with typhus (America had closed the ports to these ships). The short story was called Ship Fever- it can be found in a book of the same name. endeavor.med.nyu.edu
