Now here is a rebellion we should pray succeeds. It is hard to imagine worse than the existing Taylor regime.

Taylor has been propped up by Leonid Minin and former IDF officer Col. Yair Klein. In the 1980's, Klein organized hit squards for cocaine cartels in Colombia. Arms for diamonds and tropic woods has been the lure of Liberia and Sierra Leone. The Ukraine, the Russian mob and Israel are all involved. Maybe even Jesse Jackson who Clinton sent over as an envoy. A difficult web to untangle. PBS ran a story on it last night.

Sadly true. A friend brought over her daughter and 2yo granddaughter from Liberia several years ago. The first time my friend used her vacuum cleaner, her granddaughter ran and crouched under the end table. Because motar fire was common, her mother had wisely trained her that whenever she heard a loud noise to hide under something.
