It is my sincerest hope and prayer now that the TRC has spoken, those responsible for the implemetation part will deliberate and decide what should be implimented in the interest of Liberia. I am sure "TRC" stand something, but from this report I am not sure it stands for "Truth and Reconciliation Commissiion". Which Liberian did not at some point cheer Doe or Taylor on.

I see the TRC report as a way forward toward genuine reconciliation. What most people are missing out is that the report is just one step on a long path towards achieving reconciliation in post conflict Liberia. What needs to be done now is for the National Legislature to put into place a mechanism that will move the process on to the next stage so that those responsible for the widescale destruction of human and material resources during the Liberian civil crisis can be brought to justice. For without justice, there can be no genuine reconciliation.

What is obtaining now is that some politicians and their sympathizers using, and will continue to use the TRC's report as a basis for, among other things, denying political rivals from contesting ensuing 2011 polls. Whatever the case is, we Liberians must remain focused on the purpose of the TRC process which is to set the basis for the achievement of national reconciliation and recovery in Liberia following one of the most brutal civils the world had ever seen.

An American, my thoughts are conflicting.

First, perpetrators of violence, genocide, and crimes against humanity MUST be brought to justice (i.e. tried and possibly jailed) in order for there to be lasting peace and reconciliation. As someone else has said, soliders and warlords who have bloodied their hands through mass slaughter, cannibalism, and other atrocities cannot be expected to remain in a peaceful society. They have done these things in the past, yes, but will do them again if the reason presents itself.

Secondly, Ellen has accomplished great things during her term in office, showing nothing but the highest consideration for her country and its people. To expell her from office would result in a loss of progress. Can another as good as her be found in replacement? I think not. Besides, she has said that she will not seek re-election, and we have no reason to believe that she will. To include her name among the 50 war criminals to prosecute would never have occurred if she was not the President. These names should not be determined based on current STATUS of the person but based on their CRIMES. There are many who have done worse than her, and their names are not on the list. This is the definition of BIAS.

I applaud the TRC for their efforts and believe that their work is essential, but believe that they reached the wrong conclusion on the matter of Ellen Sirleaf.

PRESIDENT ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF must now do the "right thing' and STEP DOWN! This will prove that Liberia has truly become a nation of Laws and not of MEN. The evidence linking her to the destruction of our country disqualifies her from serving.

I commend the effort of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for their recommandations. But I personally beleived that there are more names left out. For this Commission to gets the full backing of the Liberian people,it has to be fair in submitting more names. There are many names left in the open. More need to be done, to have the public support. Those warlords, their generals and all those who financed the war murdered thousands upon thousands. These morans destroyed the lives of many people and exploited the country(Liberia) of its resources. These are the same people running around the city they destroyed. Again, if this Truth and Reconciliation Commission wants to be credited, partiality should not be the ground for which it was created. This generation have to set an example or else, future generation will make the same mistakes we made. Lets justice be served for those who died, the ones living and our beloved country(Liberia) May God bless the Republic of Liberia and Its People. TAVACANO,California.
