Washington is to send a hundred special operations troops to Uganda to help local forces fight the Lord's Resistance Army, widely considered a terrorist organization. The Ugandan government has been fighting this guerilla group for over two decades. But Asia Times correspondent Pepe Escobar says America has far-reaching plans for the region, that have little to do with protecting civilians.

1. Uganda must be lovely around the holidays.
Now that the US elite fighting forces are there- to kill I presume, I should book a trip for the family.

Any recommendations?

2. Maybe try the Idi Amin Suite at the Hilton..,lol
Wherever you choose, it probably won't be standing for long.
