| Toe tag for Idi |
| 2003-08-16 |
| Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has died in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, it has been reported. His eight years as president of Uganda were characterised by bizarre and murderous behaviour. Ugandan officials said Amin was 80 years old but other sources say he was born in 1925. He was responsible for the deaths of up to half a million Ugandans. Others were locked up and tortured by Amin and his regime. He had been on life support in hospital since July 18. He was in a coma and suffering from high blood pressure when he was admitted to the King Faisal Specialist hospital, where staff said he had suffered kidney failure. Amin was forced from Uganda in 1979, fled to Libya, then Iraq and finally Saudi Arabia, where he was allowed to settle provided he stayed out of politics. And the Saudis breathed a sigh of relief. I wish I believed in Hell so I couid say, and mean it, "Burn, baby, burn!" |

| #7 you'd think with the Saoodi aversion to pigs they would've stayed clear of the boy in the first place |

| #5 So did the Saudis put up Idi because they could not refuse a request for shelter from a fellow Muslim? Was that their excuse for harboring that overfed walrus? |

| #3 I think the problem here is that the Saudi's don't know that you have to stake them to make them stay dead. He'll be back. |

#2 He was in a coma and suffering from high blood pressure when he was admitted to the King Faisal Specialist hospital, where staff said he had suffered kidney failure. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. I only hope that he gets what he deserves: Consciousness through the burial so that he may slowly suffocate and die in agony. I wish I believed in Hell so I couid say, and mean it, "Burn, baby, burn!" I'm with you there. The only change I would make: "Burn, baby, burn with your tongue, your penis, and your digits in an industrial strength, dull and disgustingly rusty meatgrinder for eternity." |
