					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Maazi NCO&#039; talks as if he has some kind of electoral mandate &#8211; which might be the case, of course. Or he has delusions of grandeur.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The only people who have delusions of grandeur are unelected foreigners who think they can veto the sovereign parliament of Uganda. Only a deluded person would think that Ugandans will surrender their right to make laws for the good of their society to foreign interest lobbyists and their domestic puppets. Only a deluded person can think that he can successfully sell to Ugandans a behaviour that is universally condemned as unAfrican, inhuman and insane. Only a deluded person would believe that he has actually succeeded in selling such a product on the basis of receiving polite responses from Ugandans during phone conversations.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The alleged support enjoyed by the Bahati Bill probably stems from the fact that many people don&#039;t understand what it is &lt;strong&gt;really&lt;/strong&gt; all about.
Most of my discussions with Ugandans have followed a similar pattern: my Ugandan interlocutor starts by saying that he/she &#039;doesn&#039;t approve&#039; of &#039;homosexuality&#039; and thus thinks the Bill is a good idea.  I then explain to him/her what the Bull actually says, and my interlocutor then says something along the lines of &#039;oh no, I don&#039;t support &lt;strong&gt;that&lt;/strong&gt;!&#039;.  In fact, most end up taking a view once expressed by &#039;Maazi NCO&#039; himself, and say that consenting adults in private should be left alone ...
&#039;Maazi NCO&#039; talks as if he has some kind of electoral mandate - which might be the case, of course.  Or he has delusions of grandeur.
BTW, I do accept that Bahati&#039;s parents did not christen him &#039;Adolf&#039; or &#039;Hermann&#039;.  I wouldn&#039;t suggest that for a moment.  However, I have heard that &#039;Bahati&#039; was, once upon a time, not his family name (I don&#039;t know if this is true or not, but the person who told me is someone whom I trust).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#039;Maazi NCO&#039; speaks of adjustments to the Bill.  He forgets that last time the Bill was &#039;adjusted&#039;, it made no practical difference (the &#039;adjustments&#039; were a pathetic attempt to make the Bill not look like the proposed slaughter programme it still is).
The reason why it is Uganda that is currently in the spotlight is that it is David Bahati who is advocating making a bad situation worse.  Of course what these other* places do is reprehensible, but this is no excuse for &lt;strong&gt;additional&lt;/strong&gt; repression in Uganda.  Furthermore, Bahati is not proposing slaughter for so-called &#039;sodomy&#039; alone, but also for a whole host of other activities (including repeatedly speaking one&#039;s mind, if that mind is not in agreement with Bahati&#039;s!) which straight people can do with impunity.
Who will win?  Well, we all will if Bahati and his brownshirts are defeated!
&#039;Maazi NCO&#039; will need to be very careful what he says if the Bahati Bill ever does become law (he&#039;s already criticized the Bill in the past, and Clause 13 etc is extraordinarily wide-ranging ...).
* The main problem is in Iran.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The alleged support enjoyed by the Bahati Bill probably stems from the fact that many people don&#039;t understand what it is really all about.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Of course, you are the master. Only Europeans and Americans can understand what the bill is all about. No way African MPs can understand such a highly complex bill which they produced themselves...
&lt;blockquote&gt;.Most of my discussions with Ugandans have followed a similar pattern: my Ugandan interlocutor starts by saying that he/she &#039;doesn&#039;t approve&#039; of &#039;homosexuality&#039; and thus thinks the Bill is a good idea. I then explain to him/her what the Bull actually says, and my interlocutor then says something along the lines of &#039;oh no, I don&#039;t support that!&#039;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
I lived abroad for several years. There is nothing a gay propagandist can tell me, I have not heard of before. So it is highly unlikely that any gay propagandist can convince me that they are not up to something very sinister as many Americans opposed to gayism are finding out today as they continue to lose battle after battle against victorious Euro-American Gay Forces. That said, let me just say that Ugandans generally are very polite people and may fake diffidence when talked to by cajoling foreigners. It would be interesting to find out what such an MP says in company of other MPs or in privacy with other family members...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The main problem is in Iran.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
No,no, no. I am talking of your beloved head-beheading allies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, etc, etc. Why are you not worried that they will string you up the minute they catch you shoving your penis into another man&#039;s bum?
&lt;blockquote&gt;Who will win? Well, we all will if Bahati and his brownshirts are defeated!&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Stop hallucinating !!!  There is no Hermann Goring, Adolf Hilter or Benito Mussolini in Uganda. Even the sodomy-loving Ernst Rohm is not here for your pleasure.  :-)  These characters are all dead and buried in Europe not Africa.
 Stop pretending as if the general aspirations of the Bahati Bill does not enjoy wide support among the populace and politicians from all political parties in Uganda. With adequate amendments, the Bill shall enjoy my unflinching support and I will do what it takes to push it through to the end on behalf the Ugandan people.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Richard,
Just as a side comment----Why are you chaps not worried about heavily enforced &quot;death-by-hanging&quot; penalties for sodomy which is commonplace in the fiefdoms of those Oil Sheiks that are your strongest allies in the Middle-East ;  those sheiks  that sell you lot cheap oil and in return your governments corruptly sell them billions of dollars worth of weapons? You chose Uganda---an African nation--- because you think you can defeat the majority opinion of the Ugandan people. Well, we will see whether you can win here or not. Bye for now !!]]></description>
