Let try another tack here.

I'm just wondering why a legislative proposal in Uganda which doesn't even come from the government is news and yet Saudia Arabia already has much more draconian legislation in place and not a peep about it. On the same vain there is an assumption running through this thread that a bunch of non-descript white guys (Ok so we don't know the Americans are white, but I bet they are in most peoples heads) can influence the government of Uganda. Do a smell the stench of rascism here?

Like most sub-saharan countries Uganda is barely hanging on by its finger nails under the pressure of our trade policy, our lack of help with AIDS, our raping the country of their natural resources, our introduction of corrupt practices. We in the West need to start playing fair with Uganda, actually we need to start being generous with them. Perhaps then they won't be tempted to pick on minorites, for picking on minorities is a symptom. Its a symptom of a society under severe pressure. Stacking up the pressure on this issue, global warming and the like simply make the problem worse.

Just remember we stacked up the pressure on German in the 1920s and we all know what the result was.
