#3 Many people have pointed out the simularities between Iraq and Somalia yet Liberia is somehow supposed to be civilized but downtrodden. Yet, every political leader is a former warlord, every high school age kid is toting a Kalashnikov and all reasonable people fled the country 10 years ago.

#4 "...all reasonable people fled the country 10 years ago."

Correction: All reasonable people with enough liquid assets to do so. i.e. -- a small portion of the population. The rest just live in fear as in drug-ravaged neighborhoods of LA, NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Detroit, etc.
