I got into a discussion with some abouu Idi Amin as well. One point that I started to realize is that . . . although I do not know exactly the conditions of Africa during colonialism, I will say that anyone who tried to lead righteously, with no bloodshed, and be strong enough force to counter the forces and counter forces which were scrambling for control of Africa may of not been possible. I am not saying in any way I condone any actions taken by Idi Amin WHATSOEVER, all I am saying is that the shituation in Africa may of been such where if one did not operate in some manner of violence and selling out some people for another gain, one may not have survived at all to make any impact whatsoever.
If anyone can correct me, please do . .. I am merely trying to see the bigger picture.
