Charles Taylor, Liberia and Sierra Leone

Dear Roger,

My name is Brandon and I'm in Mr. Theriault's Semester 2 World Issues class. Mr. Theriault gave us the opportunity to choose a genocide to present to the class and educate them about it. I chose to work by myself and present on Liberia and Charles Taylor. Seeing as it was sort of a special project, I asked him what kind of criteria he had for me, after giving me a list of what he would like me to have, he told me to ask you about Taylor.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me exactly what influenced Taylor's actions, but at the same time putting your own twist on it because I was told that you escorted (protected) Taylor to The Hague to be put on trial, and could tell me first hand because you were there. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my e-mail.

Brandon Thompson.

Is it the rebels causing the havoc?

Hi Roger!
My classmate and I were assigned a project on genocide and were wondering if you had time to answer a question. We understand that you are fighting over there and we want to know exactly why? Is it the rebels causing the havoc, and the army trying to stop it? What’s causing the trouble where you are located?
Yours truly Chelsey Macdonald and Robyn Hay!

Beliefs vs. Orders

Dear Roger,

My name is Schacel Despres, and I am also a student of Mr. Theriaults World Issues class. Before I ask my question, I would like to convey my sincerest gratitude for our opportunity to be able to talk with you. On behalf of everyone is the World Issues Class, thank you.
My question is; Do your beliefs and instincts ever cause you to question your orders, or question your over all mission? Do you ever feel that you’re doing the wrong thing or that you’re not doing enough due to the orders that are given to you?

Staring Death in the Face?

Dear Rodger
My name is Aaron Malley, student of Mr.Theriault's World Issues class. I hope that I’m not prying to deep with my question but here it is: With all the things you’ve seen have you ever got into a situation where you honestly thought that you were staring death in the face and that you were not going to make it home? Or have ever just seen where a situation goes south and people start getting hostile?

Taking freedom for granted?

Dear Roger,
This is Jared McGinn, I'm another student in Mr.Theriault's World Issues class. I was just wondering what it's like to be active in 2 entirely different worlds? Well I guess I mean, what is it like living around so much war and poverty and seeing what us and some many others don't even know about, and then coming back places like Canada where we take most of our freedoms and just life in general for granted?

Joseph Kony and the LRA

Dear Roger,
This is Taylor Hill once again, I have been given another opportunity to ask you a question. In your last response to my class mates and I, you said that you were in the pursuit of Joseph Kony, the leader of the LRA. I have just finished a project on Joseph and the LRA, so I was extremely excited to hear this. I have SO many questions about the LRA and Mr. Kony I do not know just which one to pick. I think that perhaps the question I would most like to ask you is this; if you had Joseph in your custody what would you ask him?
