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.
The American intervention are not ment to be with blazing guns - there are supposed to act as a buffer between rebels and government forces - in order to protect civilians.

President Taylor is very unlikely to resign:
1. He's democraticly elected (unusually enough)
2. He has war-crimes charges hanging over his head for his involvement in the civil-war in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
