This news from Liberia, the team of 150 U.S. Marines have withdrawn from the country just 11 days after arriving despite protests from Liberians .

One Liberian said, “We wish they’d stay until peace would come. Their presence here puts fear in our fighters — it makes them think if they carry on hostilities, they’ll be handled by the Americans.”

The Marines will now be stationed off the coast on a U.S. warship.
