Does anyone really believe the world dictators even know about this news item. They live in a protected environment and would probably "relieve" anyone of his/her personal "property or parts" if it was in the New York Times on his/her breakfast table. (Why are all these bad people males? Another item for discussion.) Really, the dictators such as Kony are not concerned with this conviction because they know it will never happen to them because they are in control.

You would think the fates of Ceaucescu, Hussein and Gadaffi would also be a warning, but they seem to make no difference.

Right, Scrote. Even Bush and Cheney are afraid to leave US jurisdiction.

"hacking off the limbs of their victims"
The monsters who hacked off that 12 year old girl's hands are going to hell if they aren't there already.
Laguna - Dream on, ha ha!

A documentary called "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" is about a bunch of women peacefully protesting against him. Too bad he wasn't arrested right then.

I think it is Obama who has to worry. His "cousin" Ralia Odinga seems bent on becoming the Charles Taylor of Kenya . Obama campaigned for him for him in 2006 (plenty of Youtube vids for this one) and Kenya later adopted a new constitution based on Sharia. They invited the murderous tryrant al Bashir from Sudan.
Bloomberg news 4/27/2010:
"The Hague-based ICC in July charged al-Bashir with three counts of genocide against the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups in the western region of Darfur. The court had issued another warrant for him in March 2009 for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Kenya is a member of the ICC and is therefore obliged to arrest al-Bashir, New York-based Human Rights Watch said today in an e-mailed statement. "

I know you're obsessed with President Obama, but I fail to see what he or your above mutterings have to do with Charles Taylor and his conviction?
