This is a 1974 French film about Idi Amin made with his cooperation (two years before the Entebbe rescue). However, Amin did not realize that he was being set up to look like a fool (not that that was difficult to do). Watch Amin command his troop in the “liberation of the Golan Heights!” Watch him also talk to the crocodiles! In 1979 when Tanzania finally launched its war of liberation against Amin’s regime, most of the men fighting for Amin were Libyans and Palestinians – and they were routed! Amin found sanctuary in Saudi Arabia (a fact that should not be emphasized enough) and died in 2003.

And he had smartphone technology years before anyone else!
Amin was a psychopath who was tolerated by the Left because he was anti-Western and anti-Semitic.
The Libyans did not exactly distinguish themselves by their defense of Amin in 1979.
Amin should have been overthrown years earlier. There were strong anti Amin elements in Kenya and Tanzania.
Amin once held the presidency of the Organization for African Unity (OAU), not exactly a shining example of moral clarity for that organization.
Yaphet Kotto (Raid on Entebbe) was the best Amin in the movies.
Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) and Julius Harris (Victory at Entebbe) also played the tyrant.

Is zimmerman as guilty as the gang leader? No one protested when the gang leader killed the kids. It was just bad luck. Why is zimmerman being singled out? Is it an Occupy Ignorance zone?
The media is full of articles on rampaging black youths venting racist violence on any white person that happens to be unfortunate enough to occupy the same air space as them. Isn’t the problem really a black subculture that spawns it’s own type of racism and ignorance and produces it’s own particular flavor of hate.
Shouldn’t we make sure we don’t fall sway to white racism and black racism. Ignoring either lets both survive and grow more potent.
The issue should be focused correctly and educationally. Protesters should be asked themselves if they are like what they say Zimmerman is.
His predecessor, Milton Obote was a brutal dictator too.
@ Speranza:
Cool. The notches he has include the 6 day war. He must have worked for, or at least under counsel of Sharon and a few other mentionables. It’s a small world over there.
Amin was pretty handy with the HK-91. He was quick to rack after hearing the empty chamber “click”.
@ 19 darkwords: No wise person is going to be anything but cautious around unknown young black males. It is foolish to think otherwise. The media is constantly ramping up stories about the violence endemic in this class of people. Yes, the violence also occurs in probably much greater numbers among white youths that are mirrors of the rampaging black kids. But the media will not report on this type of non news.

All people, and I do mean all are just like everyone else; and to nip it in the bud, every culture has their percentage of ne’er do wells. And what causes that? For some just plain attraction to criminal activity or the need to survive in their given circumstance. The whole thing that you point to is not a race issue, but rather what they have to work with in the given social conditions they grow up in.

Ideally it should not be but race has become the excuse for the circumstance. Fed and reinforced continually. Ask a young person of color in a poor section of a large city why he is where he is, and the first answer you will get is based on his race. Not that he dropped out of school, not that he can’t/won’t get a job, not that he’s a felon before he’s an adult. Nope, generations of conditioning tell him he fails due to his skin color and the prejudice of others.
It is truly cultural, cultures based on race, not merit, performance or morality. Sad but true. I’ve observed it in my own extended family.

My point was, in stating that it was not a race issue, is that it is more cultural, and I went on to expound on that. I cna cite many examples where this kind of behavior has happened within the boundaries of closely related ethnicities. To me the driving force is more political and cultural than race based.
