QUOTES FROM LIBERIA AN UNCIVIL WAR

Zubin Cooper, Liberian Journalist
“The only thing any Liberian can tell you, lots of innocent people are going to die”
“All it takes is one idiot with a gun and we’ll be back to square one”

Dr. Mohammed Sherriff, Chief Medical Officer JFK Hospital
“How long to we have to live, or how long do we have to die? How long do we have to live—that depends on the international community. How long do we have to die? Any second.”

Esther Moring, Doctors Without Borders
“It has nothing to do with the war, but you can be just as dead. That’s the way it is.”

Sister Barbara Brilliant, Dean of the Medical Training Program
“They have a Liberian expression: when two elephants get fighting in the grass, the grass suffers”

Benoni Urey, Minister of Maritime Affairs
“President Bush has been misinformed. Somebody compromised America’s intelligence and there is a need for it to be investigated. Even the smallest kid in Liberia can realize how misinformed the man is. It’s scary!”

Charles Taylor
“Make no mistake about it, this is an American covert war and they have Liberian blood on their hands.”
