World Diplomacy

Well, by now, many world leaders are decrying Uganda's efforts to kill, imprison, or torture the gays and their families and friends. As usual, Canada is high and first on the list.

Yet, no one, including Secretary Clinton, who waited until after the Vatican weighed in to say something publicly, has mentioned sanctions or other actions.

I mean, I can simply write a statement for a LOT less than we pay for diplomacy in this country. C'mon.

Or, is that what The Family want, with Uganda as the pawn, an international 'wedge issue' to wield against Obama-Biden? Sick.

Or, worse:

In 1988, while traveling in El Salvador, I learned that the United States was involved in covert operations there developing a tool called "low-intensity conflict," which involved controlling the population by targeting a small group of people in a village – say teachers – rather than slaughtering an entire village.

This is not unlike what is happening now in Uganda, say my gay and transgender Ugandan friends. And while it is not the U.S. government that is behind it, evangelicals in the United States appear to be aiding their counterparts in Ugandan churches, who in turn create the climate of fear.
