That took too long.

Of course maybe he suffered a lot.

Then the wait was okay...

Has ANYBODY ever took longer to die?

I hope this butcher made his peace with God, because he'll not be missed.

DICTATOR IDI AMIN DIES

Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has died in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, it has been reported.

His eight years as president of Uganda were characterised by bizarre and murderous behaviour.


Ugandan officials said Amin was 80 years old but other sources say he was born in 1925.

He was responsible for the deaths of up to half a million Ugandans. Others were locked up and tortured by Amin and his regime.

He had been on life support in hospital since July 18.

He was in a coma and suffering from high blood pressure when he was admitted to the King Faisal Specialist hospital, where staff said he had suffered kidney failure.

Amin was forced from Uganda in 1979, fled to Libya, then Iraq and finally Saudi Arabia, where he was allowed to settle provided he stayed out of politics.
