Since PNJ left there have been fewer new threads on foreign affairs so I thought Id make one.

I think this is brilliant news.
The number of troops is small , but it is the fact that America is helping out that counts.
Liberia may finally be turning a corner.
The UK sent small numbers of peacekeepers to Sierra Leone and that country has improved massively.
Or mabye some of you think this is part of a new US imperialistic presence in Africa in their continuing mission to conquer the world?

Joking aside, this is the kind of thing America should be getting involved in plus they have historical links to that country.
They definitely need more experience in peace-keeping and the p.r. opportunities, after Afghanistan/Iraq are fantastic
At the 2001 Defence Systems and Equipment International arms fair held in London for example there were many delegates there from warring Third World countries.

If anything, Mr Tony has revitalised the arms trade and approved new deals with all sorts of nations that shouldn't be getting any. He even likes nominating his friends in the arms trade for OBEs and other honours.
