I was in a bar with a fellow student from Uganda the other night, and she was pissed because (a) Holland lost and (b) the news came that Somali Islamists may have been responsible for an attack that left many (unaccounted at the time) dead. She lashed out along the lines of "It isn't exactly fair to get bombs as a gesture of gratitude from one for whom you were doing a favor" and then looked at me and recited what appeared to be retaliation enforcement plan of a sort on what she would have done if she was in a position of power:
1. Take the Ugandan troops out of Mogadishu.
2. Deport every single Somali soul in Uganda back to Somalia.
I nearly said "Please, don't look at me like that - my grandies left there before even my parents were born"; but I instead took the classic line of "you need to sleep", which rather worked to my surprise. What would the impact of these two odd measures be if this young lady ruled Uganda?
