I'd take them ahead of Chavez, Castro, OBL & Co. Anytime.

Putting Castro and Chavez in the same bracket as Osama Bin Laden is ridiculous. Life in Venezuala and Cuba isn't a picnic by any means but they have overseen a massive amount of equality enjected into their countries and in Chavez's case was democratically elected.

I'm just glad this all didn't happen when George W was in charge, otherwise Liberia would have been bombed to f**k by now...

Just for the sake of historical accuracy, GWB did send the Marines to Liberia during the Second Liberian Civil War, but it didn't result in much bombing.

Having a US Navy battlegroup with a couple thousand Marines parked off your beachfront property tends to attract your attention.

On August 14 2003, rebels lifted their siege of Monrovia and 200 American troops landed to support a West African peace force. Thousands of people danced and sang as American Marines and ECOMIL, the Nigerian-led West African troops, took over the port and bridges which had split the capital into government and rebel-held zones

They situation eventually came under UN control, resulting in UNMIL, which the Irish military participated in. As a result of his opposition of President Taylor, followed by sending the Marines in, GWB is rather popular in Liberia these days.

The humanitarian crisis in Misrata may be the pretext to NATO "boots on the ground". The US have deployed unmanned predator drones for the first time in Libya, used with devasting effect on friend and foe alike in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
