“Not His Finest Hour: The Dark Side of Winston Churchill explains:
“In the Swat valley, now part of Pakistan, he (Churchill) experienced, fleetingly, a crack of doubt. He realized that the local population was fighting back because of "the presence of British troops in lands the local people considered their own," just as Britain would if she were invaded. But Churchill soon suppressed this thought, deciding instead they were merely deranged jihadists whose violence was explained by a "strong aboriginal propensity to kill".
He gladly took part in raids that laid waste to whole valleys, destroying houses and burning crops. He then sped off to help reconquer the Sudan, where he bragged that he personally shot at least three "savages".
Taken from the book The British Mad Dog-Debunking the Myth of Winston Churchill written by M.S.King and David Dees.

“I foresee that man will resign himself to new abominations, that soon only soldiers and bandits will be left.”
Jorge Luis Borges. The Garden of Forking Paths

“Everyone would work for everyone else; there would be no more war; and the whole world would be turned into one big jolly factory without an owner, and with playgrounds attached. . . . You say you want to make men brothers. What you really want is to make them ants.”
Rex Warner. The Professor

AMIN, IDI (1925-2003)
An African tyrant, who called himself “His Excellency President for Life,” “Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea,” and “Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular,” Idi Amin terrorized Uganda, the “pearl of Africa,” between 1971 and 1979.
Amin was ridiculed by some, but was feared by all.
A master of propaganda, Idi Amin had himself photographed in a sedan chair borne by four underweight Englishmen. A fifth white man–a Swede–carried a sunshade for the dictator.”
