Oct 2012

told by a 25 yrs + dictator about a man trying to end his tyranny and I feel sorry for you. I am not defending Joseph Kony because I am sure what he is doing, for all we know, he could be fighting a clean war against Museveni and the prick dictator could be the one lying to get the support of the mighty US army.

The people supporting a dictator are the ones am talking about. Support dictators in their fight against Al Qaeda and in a different country we support Al Qaeda in their fight against a dictator. What is the criteria we use to decide when to support a rebel(Al Qaeda) against a dictator? I will like to know that and should want to know that too
