    Yes.

    Power is sweet. Power corrupts. And now that - with the ascendancy of the white man and AFRICOM in Africa and the protection that it provides to its proxies - absulute power is within reach

    .. president for life ..

    Ellen "I will be president for one term only - trust me" Sirleaf can learn a few tricks from the genocidal masters on how to stay in power for ever.

    Her slave masters want her there - to lend much needed visible support to a fellow proxy of the imperial white man - the genocidaires in Africa's resource wars.
