    This, together with the recent jailing of James Ibori of Nigeria in a London court, is a triumph for colonialism, imperialism and slavery without which Africans would never have come in contact with the whites. Taylor annihilated Doe and went to bed in diamonds. Who would have raised a finger against him in Africa?

    Why is the ICC only arrest and prosecute mostly African rebels and leaders?In the case of Taylor, we may never really know why he is been punished for crimes in Sierra Leone and not in Liberia.The reasons are smoke screen that do not fool us.Time will tell what will eventaully be the result of all this selective justice while co-conspirators roam the halls of power in Liberia.

    Someone said justice served but there still a selective Justice. Since TEJAN KABA is moving free in and out of sierra leone there is no justice.

    Thank God, that JUSTICE has finally been done. Let him pay the PRICE for the WRONG he committed in Sierra Leone. Well anyway, he couldn't still escape going to jail, because we in Liberia would have also tried him for what he did to us in Liberia.

    First i want to give credit to the people of Sierraleon who had the courage to seek justice. If u allowed the west to used u as a weapon of death, you should be willing to pay the price for your ignorance.it no secret how the so call west operate but are still leaders in Africa doing job for the west. We liberians must now send Taylor and all his warlords for a reunion at the international court
