Politics, bedfellows…like that.

I’ve got a pretty good BS meter on these things. These are long standing US policies that will likely never change. In Uganda you have Museveni (National Resistance Movement) and then the Lord’s Resistance Army and Al Qaeda. You have to chose between the lesser of two evils. So the USA picks Museveni. But hey, what’s the big deal about killing a few gay people just to protect what is effectively a US economic interest. Right? Seriously? Some would call it pragmatic or reality based. I see it as completely opposite of a progressive foreign policy. This is happening in Egypt and Bahrain. It will likely soon happen in Libya too once the dust settles. America will continue to coddle with dictators.
