In a farewell address to his war- torn nation, President Charles Taylor declared Sunday he would "sacrifice my presidency' to stop bloodshed in Liberia. Taylor, sitting solemnly with folded hands, recorded the address before a Liberian flag at his home. "I love this country very much," Taylor said. "This is why I have decided to sacrifice my presidency. As I look at people dying, I must stop fighting. Taylor also accused America of forcing his departure. The United States and West African nations have demanded Taylor cede power in a bid to end 14 years of conflict ushered in by Taylor.
