Does this make any sense to you?

I just don't get these sort of decisions. £19M in aid to Uganda is being withheld because of Ugandas slow move to democracy. Read more here.

Now if I remember correctly this is similar to what happened in Iraq. We were upset with Saddam so we put sanctions on Iraq. This lead to millions of civilians dying whilst Saddam and his cronies suffered not one bit. And we patted ourselves on the back and congratulated ourselves. In the meantime we built up thousands of people who hate our guts.

Why should Uganda be any different?
