Another despot

Tuesday, January 20, 2004

The big manipulator, Bush, keeps trying to convince us that one of the reasons he invaded Iraq is because Saddam was such a despicable, murderous person, which he was.

But another such person, Charles Taylor, dictator of Liberia, was just as bad if not worse. He is credited with killing thousands of his people, too. Bush put some of our troops in Liberia, put ships in the harbor and let Charles walk into exile in Nigeria without lifing a finger.

Do you suppose it was because Taylor didn't try to kill his daddy, or no oil?
