Listening to Liberians

Rebels advance toward Monrovia as indicted President Charles Taylor hides out in his seaside mansion. President Bush won't commit to a large U.S. military presence. The fighting seems far away for most of us. But for the large Liberian communities here, in places like Providence, Rhode Island, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Houston, Texas it's devastatingly close.
