1 Rusty Will be?????? I will be it when I see it - until then, let the UN, African Union, International Communiity show go on. Taylor is scum - screw him - but let's let the above parties make a fool of themselves once again.

2 Wow! Mr. President of Nigeria Kudos!. How quickly your men got the job done. I wonder how this would have played out if the White House had not threatened to call off the scheduled summit! In a way, yes Mr. President you are 'vindicated' but only probably because the 'snob' from Big Brother Sam's officer would have been too high a price to pay for letting a mass murderer escape apprehension. Maybe a Charles Taylor in handcuffs and put behind bars will show the rest of us that no matter how much we may think of ourselves, we are still only human and the final word truly lies not in our hands or even in the hands of our spiritual advisors. The Almighty truly rules in the affairs of men... He can bring down the high and mighty anytime...

3 I live in the USA and have kept abrest of the Charles Taylor story. My Problem with the way this matter is being handled is I do not understand how this man will ever get a fair trial in Sierra Leone. I believe that the UN should take possession of this man and move him to a democratic country that has existed for many years and not one of these phoney proped up so called democracies. I would suggest that he be taken to the Hague and tried there or a special Un court in France or Sweden or Holland. Then I would believe that he would have a chance of getting a fair trial. Also, they have taken the funds that he had with him and those funds belong to him and should be placed in a special imprest account where he can hire the council or attorneys of his choice to defend him and have the funds to pay them. We must remember that many of the leaders of African nations came into power by way of the death of thousands. Charles Taylor is not the only "Warlord" who came into power of a country by way of the death of tens of thousands of innocent people. Look right now how many people, innocent children and women, not counting the men, are killed each day in some effort of some individual that wants to become the ruler of his country no matter what he has to do to take control. The whole world must get involved in every place where these awful murders of all these innocent people is occuring and we must come to a resolution that allows people to live in peace and safety and able to support and feed there families.

4 Send him to the Hague? So he can die of old age before conclusion of the trial?

5 I hope he gets some good old fashioned African justice, i.e., a burning tire around the neck.

6 Improbulus Maximus, I think that may be the Haitian custom of "necklacing" that is so popular with Papa Doc, Baby Doc, Ton Ton Macoute(sp?) and Aristide's crew. It'd be much more entertaining if they'd put him and LRA's Joseph Kony in a Deathmatch, fighting to the death with sporks. Then again, I may be wrong about the car tire thing. Libs won't support it, releasing all that foulness into the air, oh yeah, the smoke can get pretty nasty too. 'Pick
