Seven U.S. Marines land in Monrovia (Liberia).
Hmmmm… Do you think that if there was oil over there, we would fake WMD’s and get Taylor out ourselves?
Sigh
If we’re gonna police the world, we should probably do it when it’s not just in self-interest…

: The Note: "Dean wins part of the John Harwood primary: ‘Every Democrat
has an electability problem against George W. Bush…. Mr. Dean’s issue vulnerabilities
are only marginally different from those of other Democrats; the party is increasingly
homogenous ideologically, just as Republicans are. And any reasonable analysis
must consider the very real assets that only the one-time medical doctor has yet
demonstrated." … "Because the country remains so polarized, Mr. Bush’s
strategists have concluded that their core task in 2004 is mobilizing the Republican
base, not persuading a diminishing pool of swing voters. To win, any Democratic
nominee will have to generate intense support within the party to match that Republican
fervor. The only candidate who can claim that capacity so far is Howard Dean.’"
