[Rhodes22-list] So what is the list option about sending troops toLiberia?

[Bill Effros]

Actually, Liberia was purchased by slave owners as a place to send the slaves after they were freed--something many slave owners saw as only a matter of time.

They did not want slaves to become citizens of the United States, and they did not intend for Liberia to become a colony.  They wanted the US government to provide free one way passage back to Africa and a place for slaves to go.

So what is the list option about sending troops to Liberia? Remembering the run-up to Iraq, will people keep the same position about use of troop and "self serving interest", running and ducking for cover.

My Option, Liberia has wanted to be a colony of the US for a hundred years
