Liberia, a nation burdened by its past. America, a nation with no memory at
all." In Liberia, the summer of 2003 was pure insanity. A rebel army attempts
to overthrow a government run by an indicted war criminal. Two armies engage
in the final battle of a decade long civil war. Hundreds of innocent civilians
die from mortar shells launched from afar and thousands more suffer hunger
while the soldiers, mostly teenagers, keep the capital city under siege. The
nation prays that America, the world's sole superpower, will put an end to the
violence. Conceived in Washington in the early 1800s, its constitution written
at Harvard, its founding fathers freed slaves who returned to Africa, Liberia
is the one country in the world worthy of the title, Made in America. By the
year 2000, Liberia, once considered the gem of Africa, was ranked last in the
world for quality of life.
