Can someone ever be truly sorry for something? Stayed up a little later than usual last night with the Missus and stumbled upon 'The Redemption of General Butt Naked' on the documentary channel. Butt Naked was a warlord during Liberia's horrifying Civil War responsible for deaths, atrocities and war crimes (he claimed to Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission that he was responsible for 20,000 deaths though some dispute that figure now apparently.) Anyway, he repented, found God and became a Pastor.
I really hope they show this again on the Documentary Channel because I'd like to see all of it and not just half of it. Though the half I did see was fascinating enough- I was left wondering if Butt Naked had really repented or if it was just all a little too convenient... I'd like to think that people can really change but Liberia's Civil War was a nasty, vicious war that lasted fourteen years- and seeing someone responsible for some truly awful things actually go and seek out some of his victims to ask for forgiveness...
That's powerful.
Yep, going to have keep an eye on the Documentary Channel.
