Reply #19: I was referring to the article, not you

sorry if the "editorial you" or second person singular in place of third person made it sound like I was accusing you personally.

That said, I hate it when really complicated issues get simplified, like the demand for sanctions against Uganda. That would punish the poor people of a poor country because of bad policies by its leader.

Even what do do about its leader is a complicate issue, because Museveni is widely considered to have saved his country from several disasters -- civil war and AIDS -- while his government has been implementing generally progressive policies, like establishing property rights for married and divorced women.

Why he has adopted these policies (or his wife? as is rumored) is beyond me.
