EACH time I see the indicted war criminal of Liberia, Charles Taylor, butcher and plunderer of his country and killer of hundreds of Nigerians including Krees Imodibe and Tayo Awotunsin, crying for the United States of America to come to the aid of worn torn Liberia, I cannot but laugh. For this, in my reckoning is foolishness raised to power 10. Yet when I see the dying people of that ravaged country crying out to the same United States and to Boy George for military assistance, I wonder why they are going to Sokoto to look for what is available in their sokoto trouser! Don't they know that America only acts in its self-interest? Don't they know that there is nothing of value, like Iraq's oil, to interest America in Liberia?
Of what strategic interest is Liberia to the overall economic well being of the USA? Do they think they can use emotional blackmail, of being a country populated mainly by freed slaves from the same United States to bring American soldiers in Liberia. Do they think America is Nigeria and George Bush, Olusegun Obasanjo?
