    Taylor conviction sends warning to tyrants

    LEIDSCHENDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Former Liberian President Charles Taylor on Thursday became the first head of state since World War II convicted by an international war crimes court, a legal landmark observers say sent a clear message to tyrants around the world that their days of impunity are numbered.
    Taylor, 64, was found guilty on 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for sending guns and bullets to Sierra Leone rebels in return for so-called blood diamonds mined by slave laborers and smuggled across the border.

    .......Maybe, but Liberia has a checkered history relating to political arrangements, coups and strange deaths of its Presidents. Ellen Sirleaf is doing a good job though.
