On TV last night, someone (Jesse Jackson?) suggested that, in Liberia, we follow the example of the British in Sierra Leone. I have a different idea: we follow the example of the British in Hong Kong. For no reason other than to turn it into a monument to our greatness, we colonize it, throw open the economy, stand by willing to defend it, and eventually hand it over to a corrupt imperial dictatorship to squander theWell, maybe we don't have to follow the script to the letter.
