Respond to this video... I'm not saying that the US has not help Liberia though, but rather, let her allow other countries to come in and help if she 's not in the position due to the financial crises she finds her self instead putting us on hold while other countries are willing to come in and help us. Liberians will not hold it against her but rather appreciate her for been truthful; at least for once.

@shussey100 Liberia is not forcing anyone to help her. Matter of fact, most of the developments being carry out across the country is not done by Western nations but rather Chinese both financially and practically. Pretty sad right? considering the fact that the war that destroyed Liberia was supported by Western countries due to greed and not Asians. The best the US can do if she wants to complain is to step aside and let Liberia seek help from other nations that have expressed interest.

We took slaves from africa then John Q. Adams sent all the free slaves back to africa to found Liberia. The slaves then imprison the natives and use our old plantation method for about a 100 years, then finally a native is elected president. But that doesn't last long, an American educated Charles Taylor kidnaps and later kills him. He then is elected president, but is so corrupt that warlords take charge. After small skirmishes a civil war breaks out for about ten years. The U.N. later gets in

Not good enough. Liberia ranks 155 in the World Bank's ease of doing business index. 155!
They are just flying from one place to another to beg for money to feed their Swiss bank account.
