Ex-Liberian Leader Testifies at War Crimes Trial

[elijomoro]

I'll hang that muthafucka from the balls!

[miele101]

wow this man has no shame what so ever!!! Idon't think he would have been speaking so elequently if he went tru what Do went thru. This is what pisses me off sometimes, they give you a chance to tell the truth, to set yourself free, no you go and lie, killing the people you killed all over again. No wonder people rather torture than give them this chance! Only God.

I'm constatntly judged by people based on my accent. Very english although I am not. People that are well educated tend to be 'well spoken'.For those of us that are of African descent it doesn't mean that we are disillusioned, (or an Oreo as my daughter would say) about who we are. It simply means that we were probably raised in England educated in England rasied in an English society and are familiar with English culture.

Taylor is guilty for "HIS" crimes and he must face the consequence.

[OriMedian]

Will this court or the example it will give by convicting this politician stop the others who are about to commit the atrocities that are commited every day against thousands of innocent people, young children and even babies? I doubt it.

[OriMedian]

Will this court invent a punishment wich will mesure in equal suffering that this individual brought upon his victims? I doubt any individual will survive a fraction of the pain that this welthy man has inflicted on others only by taking part in the political processes of the time when tragedy has occured.

Why does this seem like an impossible mission to punish those responsible?

My guess is: because it is not a crime commited by an individual, not even by one nation against another.

[OriMedian]

It seem everyone of those who are trying to convict "The one guilty man" are responsible for these atrosities in one way or another . some gave money, others gave weapons, the rest stood indifferently still and looked the other way...

I believe the time will come when indifference to suffering of others will be considered a crime, at least as a moral one, so that it will be publicly condemned.

But before that we all are "Just doing it" time after time again. Ar'nt we?

[Chubearishere]

Wow, I can actually see Cheney saying the exact same thing.... let's hope we do get to see it cause if not I'll take these international tribunals to be a joke and a farce, made for only leaders of poor nations.

[futuramark]

of course it is a farce...they killed saddam claiming it was becuase of weapons of mass destruction....weapons of mass destruction my ass...we know who has those weapons and who used them on other nations..none other than us.

[snowfan]

1st to call the 1st poster...who was really 2nd in this case an asshole

[Docthewrench]

I been waiting for Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman to be brought up on war crime charges for going to war with Germany and Japan and then droping 2 Bombs the ONLY ones in history to be dropped on mankind and they were Demicrats also. THen we can do BUSH and monkey nuts.

[sharinganclan213]

too bad japan refused to surrender and thought it would be wise to hurt a sleeping giant. they fucked up and got fucked. too bad so sad..

[Taospark]

This is a good start to seeing some legitimacy to the UN war crime tribunals. I hope they can do the same with the ongoing genocide in Darfur.

[richardmcginty]
