I am sorry to hear about sirleaf's nepotism. I admit I don't follow most regimes very closely, and am grateful you do so.
I know no one is perfect, even including nyrere, but some are much much better than others, some like wade or biya are huge disappointments, after high hopes when they came in.
I am always intrigued by these Nigerian situations which seem extraordinarily complex.
And the sirleafs seem like afterthoughts in comparison. Still, a woman president getting elected, a great great hope, perhaps hoping more than was reasonable, like aung san suu kyi, a huge disappointment.

Gadaffi did not have time to recant, Ken. Remember the words of
the politician: "We came we saw and we killed."
The problem with Sirleaf is the nepotism during her presidency.
Even the CIA couldn't predict the brutality of Taylor.
