What about Liberia?

OK. We had a lively discussion prior to the invasion of Iraq on whether that action was legimate or advisable. Now it's time to repeat the process on Liberia.

1. Should we put troops there to effect a change of government?
2. Why or why not?
3. In what ways would this be similar to or different from Iraq?
