Uganda, Feb. 11 -- The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." Did you hear that? No new thing under the sun! That is how King Solomon put it in his works of wisdom - flip the pages of the Good Book till you come to it!

There is a pattern that has repeated itself over the years in Uganda: every time a new sheriff rides into town, he is carrying his army with him. Or to put things a little bit more laconically, his army is carrying him in. Thing also is, when he goes, he leaves kind of in a really big hurry and again, his army (part of it, or all of it) that carried him in, runs out with him, as fast as their heels can carry them.

In ho...
