You are right. People have the right to say what they want, thanks to freedom of speech. It’s obvious I’m trying to open a lock door. All I’m saying is “it’s a form of disrespect” and when you disrespect the president you disrespect the country. In contrast, burning a flag is a form of disrespecting the country. Criticizing public official, government and its policies are part of the political process and should be done in a intelligent and respectful way. I’m not comparing criticizing public official and there policies to burning the flag. I’m comparing disrespecting the president is like burning the flag. Every story has two side, the majority of people are quick to jump on the side they see more logical while other may have an emotional attraction. In my case I like to understand both sides. Mr. Taylor defenses have done a great job establishing how he was targeted and victimized by the UN, introducing the possibility of other supplying the RUF and contradicted the testimonies of several of the prosecution witnesses. The prosecution established that there were former NPFL members fighting in SL and produced several witnesses that claimed to even talk to or overheard a story about Mr. Taylor’s affairs in SL. Even if the testimonies may be hearsay it has to receive the appropriate weight. Honestly, do to Mr. Taylor testimony and disregarding his past history in Liberia, I’m “semi convinced” he is a victim and may be innocent. In addition I think the prosecution missed the target (Mr. Taylor’s actually relationship intentions with the RUF). The prosecution has not dig deep enough.
