Bush couldn't care less about a silly thing like history.
And yes, Liberia is unimportant, small, oil-free, and black African. Not a good formula for outside aid, for sure.
Oh, and as for the UN, it sort of IS the UN that finally moved to get the Nigerian peacekeepers to go into Liberia after weeks and weeks of us refusing to act... remember, the UN takes a while to do anything. We could have acted much, much faster, but Bush wouldn't. And hundreds, maybe thousands, of Liberians died as a direct result.
Oh, and yes, Al Gore does hate Bush now. In that speech last week he said something similar to what I did -- Bush is responsible for all the "miscalculations" and "misdirections" and "mistaken opinions" that the administration holds and held, not the advisors. That is clear once you look at all the facts.
