If all these things you said are true. My question to you is how come the Liberian population gave him over 80% of the vote when he ran for president of Liberia? Remember it takes two sides to fight a war. Lastly, it is unfortunate you did not follow the Prosecution case . You would then realize how weak the evidence presented against Mr. Taylor was.

One can discuss USA, Britain, where judges come from, who should judge and accomplishes, but the bottom line here is that when Taylor had the power, he could have done differently irregardless of other factors. Instead, Taylor did not only choose to act like some other leaders, he became evil. He was responsible, directly and indirectly, for the killing and damaging of numerous persons in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Whoever doubts this should not only rely on what politicians and lawyers say, but should travel these countries and talk with others and especially with common people in the towns and the countryside. The truth of what happened and the extend of the horror Taylor was responsible for, will become clear quickly.

Justice has to be done and it has to be done quickly. Taylor has been found guilty a long time ago by all his victims, dead or alive. The longer his case drags on, the longer victims have to agonize whether he will be found guilty in court as well and whether justice is finally been done.
