Uganda bombing, a personal connection

Terrorists bomb a cafe of people watching the World Cup yesterday, kill 60-some locals and 1 American. The American was the friend of a girl who sings at my church. I do sound so I've worked with her a lot, she's a very sweet person. I hate to see her so upset. It's just interesting to me as I hadn't heard anything about the Uganda attacks this morning.

It's been on the news today.  All over the San Diego news.

Bleeping animals and their bleeping bombs targeting gatherings of people just going about their business.  :mad:

From what I've read, even with Idi Amin being gone for quite a while, Uganda is still, well, unstable.  A good place to avoid. Why in the world would any rational person go there willingly?  ???

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

But I though if us corrupt infidel just went about our business and exuded enough empathy. the terrorists would leave us alone. So, soccer is now a symbol of Western imperialism?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

They've been providing (food) for the natives for a LONG time.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I was there for work towards the end of last year.  It's an amazingly beautiful country.  Don't knock it til you try it.
