[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Uh...hmm. First of all, there isn't any peace to maintain. By all accounts Liberia is a <a href="http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/91-08092003-139035.html">post-millennial horror</a> of the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/westafrica/story/0,13764,1011864,00.html">first order.</a> [QUOTE] A 17-year-old calling himself War Black sprinted on the spot, euphoric.

I'm deputy commanding general lance corporal of the..." he paused, thinking hard, "of the 51st platoon section." [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] The seven dashed back behind a wall, panting. It was the turn of David Kollie, 12, nicknamed Deputy, to lead the next wave. He wore a red headband, a yellow T-shirt which said "AK Baby, Man Moving, Man Dropping" and a serene expression. "I eat the leaf," he said, "but I cannot disclose its nature because that is a military secret." Then he was on the bridge, firing away and joined by older boys, some with women's wigs and toenails painted blue. On Merclin Street a teenager with a bayonet jigged to the rhythm.
