David Quammen, author, appearing on Anderson Cooper's TV show: "You can't isolate nations. It doesn't work. And people talk about,
well, we shouldn't allow any flights in from Liberia. I mean, we in
America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia, given the fact that this
is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American
slavery. We have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help
them see this through. "1. America ended slavery. Americans fought against it.2. Restricting flights from Liberia does not mean aid workers and supplies can't enter the area.
