Pat Robertson needs a muzzle.

yeah, a muzzle with a .357 round coming out of it

**SlowwHand** · July 21, 2003, 13:30

I hope, for your sake, he isn't offed with a .357 .

That's okay, I don't own a weapon of that calibre.

Why hasn't this man been brought to justice. Isn't it amazing how Saddam is being hounded, yet we know the location of this man and no effort is being made to make him pay for his crimes...typical double standards...

IIRC it was part of an agreement to keep him from creating civil war in Uganda. Going back to 1979, it's hard to remember exactly, but I do remember some kind of deal.

Sorry, the US only hunts/kills dictators if there is economic incentive.

alright you seem to know a bit about the man... please explain Protector of Aryan race in Africa, heavy-weight world champion in boxing, and the last king of scotland?

and did he eat people for real? or is that just a demonizing thing or rumour that people say?

**KrazyHorse** · July 21, 2003, 14:35

He ate people for real.

He was a bit on the unbalanced side.

**KrazyHorse** · July 21, 2003, 14:36

IIRC he particularly enjoyed snacking on those he viewed as political rivals.

**Al B. Sure!** · July 21, 2003, 14:40

was there an economic incentive for taking out Milosevic?

i think Amin is like Pinochet... they're both old and sickly so let's just let them live their last days in elderly pain and die naturally... it's like those jewish groups who still go into latin america to hunt down nazis... they're in their 80's and 90's! please leave them alone and let them die. they'll be gone soon enough

Did the US spend $100 billion and put 200k ground troops in Serbia?

edit: December 9th, 1990; Milosevic elected in first multi-party elections since WW2.

July 15, 1997 -- Milosevic elected Yugoslav president by federal parliament, steps down as Serbian president after serving maximum two terms.

July 27, 2000 -- Milosevic sets elections for September 24.

September 26, 2000 -- Federal elections commission says opposition candidate Vojislav Kostunica won by 48.22 percent to 40.23, calls a second round since neither won an absolute majority. Kostunica camp cries fraud, rejects result.

October 6, 2000 -- Milosevic concedes defeat in the election.

Dictators usually don't concede defeat Speer. I don't blame you though, the vast majority of Americans don't have a clue either.

**KrazyHorse** · July 21, 2003, 14:46

As I recall, the US didn't actually "take out" Milosevic.

He was defeated electorally a year and a half (?) after the war finished.

**Al B. Sure!** · July 21, 2003, 14:46

i don't understand how these crazy people get into power sometimes... i mean we're not talking about monarchies where you can easily get an insane king... Amin started out with popular support and probably was extremely intelligent and politically skilled to maneauver himself into power. but he was so insane, he ate people?! how does someone like that get in and stay in power for so long?

(i do find it funny though how he basically said **** you to the two great superpowers of the US and SU... little president of a country like Uganda did that of all people)

Actually, no. Amin was a far more brutal human being than Pinochet. Lets call him a baby Pol Pot.

His official title's. Like all simple men who get to power, he had a thing towards bombastic ranks.

Amin was born around -24, he has been eating oranges and watching sports in SA since late 70's. He hasn't been demonized probably because he's political actions and speeches clearly indicate that he's so stupid that it's sympathic.
