Well....Nixon was right...
I didn't think you could come up with an insult that would be adequate to describe someone who murders women and children and eats their bodies. He was one of the first prominent muslim fanatics who came to power in Africa. He was not understood to be a muslim fanatic because he came to power in a day when that was not an issue in the West.
Amin filled his jails with those that dissented and turned Uganda from what was once called the "Pearl or Jewel of Africa" into a massive death camp. He brought death and destruction to every inch of the country and to any and all who opposed his belief system, especially Christians and Jews.
The West was still wrestling with the spread of communism in Africa and was blindsided by this animal. He was a modern day Frankenstien, a modern day Dracula. There can be no insult that would show his true colors. He was supported in his monstrosity by the muslim countries and thier goal of a Jew/Christian free Africa was greatly enhanced by his efforts.
So, was Nixon wrong? If it becomes an insult in a vacuum, instead of looking at the history of what happened and was happening, then it looks bad for Nixon. Nixon is the favorite object of hatred by the left. He was right in what he said about Amin, he was wrong in not stopping the man by intervening in the affairs of Uganda. Amin is responsible for over 500,000 African deaths. He was the first leader since the Mau Mau uprising to show the deep diminishing that a person can drop to when they give into the dark heart of darkness. \
He was an eater of human flesh. He was a very wicked man, full of evil and probably completely out of his mind. The worse part of it all was the American Black Nationalist Movement, and the support of the Black Panther Party, and other haters of white people and how they supported this man. I remember hours of argument with these people over their support of this man, yet they always supported him in spite of how deeply he had drifted from any concept of humanity. He was a black leader so he was going to be supported even if he killed and baked children.
The same thing is going on all throughout the Black leadership in America who have no problem being close to the present day monsters in Africa. Until there is a change in the "support them because they are from Africa, even if they eat babies for sport" attitude in the Black learship in America there will be little taking of the black leadership in America seriously by any thinking person.
I agree.
Well said.
Nixon was right.
Not only were they better off under Apartheid, Mandella was where he belonged---in jail.
If you liked Nixon, then you must read “The Amendment”
By John Fitzgerald. The American Da Vancie Code of How Nixon was set up.
A great read.
Agence France-Presse? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
".........highlight the US reluctance to take a stand on atrocities committed by Amin's regime until US citizens were threatened.........."
And I suppose the French would support US intervention at the UN or some such thing?
What a pantload.
Nixon has been dead for 10-12 years now and they just can't stop piling on.
===========================
Amen! There's something sleazy about attacks, exp. malicious attacks, on a man who is unable to defend himself.
FR Trail is right folks! I am an arm-chair traveler and particularly enjoy the old 19th century travel narratives to places like China and sub-Sarahan Africa.
These pre-PC travelers --mostly missionaries -- do describe places like Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda as jewels. More than once I've read some of these descriptions and thought to myself, "Are we talking about the same country??"
That is insulting to apes.
With regards to African holocausts, Nixon was very Clintonian, a lot of talk, but little action.
