why?

A head UGandan Govt. officail (forgot his name) said on BBC that those sort of trials make funny heroes out of people, and the way he died was probably a good enough punishment.

I am sure someone might have a link to what he said properly though.

So no one should ever be tried for war crimes? The opinion of a Ugandan gov. offical is just that, an opinion of this one guy.

Dying in a hospital bed is not much punishment for the deaths of hundreads of thousands and the exile of thousands more.

yeah, but as the Ugandan top govt. official said, he died out of his senses (or something) not able to look after himself, presumably dribbling his food down him etc etc.


anyway, whenever these dictators are tried, they always seem to get house arrest, which is hardly a punishment imo.

tsk sava, that typical "revenge" mentality is no good.. on the contrary it only makes things worse;

of course i'm not unhappy that Amin's dead, but what does it matter anyway, he's been out of power for so long and it would have been better if he was tried for what he did

SInce he wasn't tried for his crimes, I hope at least that he suffered atrociously before passing out.

You have to understand Sava that many people today believe in rehabilitation. They see that a human can be instructed by example and common human decency to behave in an acceptable fashion. No man, or indeed woman, is beyond this rehabilitaion.


Of course I say I hope he died in the most painful way possible, but thats just the opinion of one southern cracker. ....

That makes it sound like the possibility exists that the facts are false.
