But our President stated before the world that the countries that harbor terrorist will be treated as terrorist themselves. But a guess, as in other matters, some terrorists are more equal then others. He has failed to live up to his other promises, why should this one be any different? [/QUOTE]Our President has also been thoroughly criticized for even hinting that Syria and Iran could be "future targets" for military action for harboring terrorists.

And now he is being criticized for NOT declaring military action against yet another 3rd World country. I guess some "terrorist harboring" countries are more equal than others also.

Besides, President Bush has shown his support by joining other allies calling for the resignation of Liberia's President. The U.S. is exerting the same effort and pressure on Liberia's president as the rest of the UN and EU nations. Since these nations were so strongly opposed to our last military effort, I would have thought they would be proud to see us FINALLY exercising some restraint and looking for a non-military resolution to the conflict.
