MONROVIA, Liberia — With fighting receded for now in Liberia's devastated capital, President Charles Taylor joined his desperate people and called for American help to end the war in his bloodied West African nation.

But Taylor, making a victory tour of his shelled capital after chasing rebels out this latest time, gave no sign he would heed President Bush's calls that he step down.

"We ask the international community, most specifically the United States, to do everything within its power to help Liberia and Liberians out of this mess," Taylor said in a radio address Friday, hours after fighting stilled.

Meanwhile: On the other side of the World!

President Bush stepped deeper into Africa's political and military strife Thursday, calling for Liberian President Charles Taylor to give up power, for an interim government to be installed in Congo by next week and for democracy to be established in Zimbabwe.

"The cycle of attacks and escalation is reckless, it is destructive and it must be ended," Bush said ahead of his Africa trip next month. "To encourage progress across all of Africa, we must build peace at the heart of Africa."

If you are unaware of where and what Liberia is, it is a nation on the W Coast of Africa that was created prior to the US Civil War as a nation for the return of the slaves in the US to Africa. It was, at least on paper, a nation modeled after the US and used a revised version of the US Constitution. Most of the cities have US but Africanized names, such as thre capital - Monrovia. The official currency is the US dollar. The nation has been totally corrupt almost from its inception.
