Liberian rebels reject new president
Liberia's main rebel group said on Tuesday it wanted to lead the interim government following the resignation and departure of former president Charles Taylor.

"We want to lead the interim government," said Sekou Fofana, the deputy secretary general of the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (Lurd).

"We will never accept to serve under Moses Blah," he said, referring to the former vice president who took charge on Monday after Taylor -- who had been at the centre of two bloody civil wars for 14 years -- resigned under intense international pressure.

"The government of Liberia has been dissolved," Fofana said.

"There is no more government."

2. Ugh, this is a mess
For once, there are people who are literally BEGGING for the Americans to send the marines into their country to save lives.

And Bush sits on his hands and does nothing.

The U.S. and the UN really need to get in there and put some serious diplomatic and political effort into doing something before a whole bunch more people get killed.
