KAMPALA, Uganda, Terrorist Bombing

Uganda, a Christian country, had a terrorist bombing in July 2010 that killed 74 people. The attack came from a nearby Muslim country, Somali. The Christian country had been killing Muslims in Somali. The Christian country had "peacekeepers" in the Muslim country. One of the victims in the bombing in Uganda was from a church group in Pennsylvania spreading the word of God. (At least three of the wounded were in a church group from Pennsylvania)

Another group was also spreading the word of God.

(Invisible Children, a San Diego, California-based aid group that helps child soldiers, identified the dead American as one of its workers, Nate Henn, who was killed on the rugby field. Henn, 25, was a native of Wilmington, Delaware.

"He sacrificed his comfort to live in the humble service of God and of a better world," the group said.)

"We warned Uganda not to deploy troops to Somalia; they ignored us," said Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, al-Shabab's spokesman. "We warned them to stop massacring our people, and they ignored that. The explosions in Kampala were only a minor message to them. ... We will target them everywhere if Uganda does not withdraw from our land."

The Christian country had received aid from the United States and carried out joint military exercises with the U.S. The Muslim country is bordered by Kenya and Ethiopia, two Christian countries.

Somehow war and violence is inevitable. We have a primitive genetic disposition to dominate others so we can survive and procreate. We have a primitive desire to protect our own family and tribe so we can again, survive and see our seeds sown. Mother Nature is a harsh mistress.

If we eliminate al-Qaida in one country they will just arise in another. A handful of al-Qaida can drive the U.S. crazy and cause Amercia to go bankrupt.

“Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.”
