Remember Liberia?

In case you missed it, Liberia had a relatively peaceful election last week. The results have been tallied and 59.4% voted for Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. Her opponent, George Weah (who has the backing of both gun-toting sides in the most-recent rebellion/coup conflict), has claimed fraud. International observers, however, declared the election "peaceful, transparent, free and fair."

Let's just hope that the men with guns decide their best option is to live in a free society rather than start shooting people. The results have to be certified by November 23. We'll see then what they choose to do.
