"..For these are questions the Member of Parliament should have asked
herself in Luweero before she supported a struggle that left most of us in
Luweero orphans..."
This is precisely what is wrong with the socalled opposition MPs. They want
to eat their cake and have it too. For example so many members of FDC
followed the dictator to the bush but they are still apoligizing for what
by now every right thinking true blooded Ugandan should admit was a wrong
headed adventure. What exactly have the Luwero people or the rest of
Ugandans gotten out of it? Some night sleep ? Who exactly was/were making
Ugandans sleepless ? The best thing for these "young men and women", at the
time, to do now is to make a clean break from the nonsense of the past and
come out and say they were duped and abused and tell the country that they
are sorry; then move on; in stead of constantly trying to rational the bush
war; they are no more than apologists for the current dictatorship. And for
that nobody takes them seriously. The opposition should leave the
obssession to the past to NRM because that is what they got going for them.
Believe me if hear some opposition MPs in the international media, they
sound better (more pro-NRM) than NRM itself. On the land issue; the laws
are already in the books but they are not being enforced because you cannot
enforce laws against the NRM military gunmen who are of course the chief
perpetrators.
