Can you provide the leadership?.In Georgia,they had a leader who rallied them to rise.In Uganda we still have many managers who are wallowing in their comfort zones.

Re: ugnet_: Apt lesson for our tyrants (like Musevenic!)
That is the smartest response we will get in 2003, for even a simple thing like Federalism is not national, Reform agenda pops up not for Uganda is in trouble but for Besigye is not elected, Mengo is not part of Uganda, Like I said Museveni's 5 grand children are going also to lead this nation, one by one.

Re: ugnet_: Apt lesson for our tyrants (like Musevenic!)
No Owor, that is short cut! It is deeper than that. It is among others because we are UGANDAN at very low level of political evolution(a situation we share with the rest of the so called Thirdworld). Our people do not even know their own rights to defendneither do they know how to vote. We are many hundred years behind. Imagine we have not even reached the level pertaining to fundamental ideological bases despite the NRM's "efforts" to establish class faculties. What would have become Ugandan business industrial class have precipitated into a plutocratic slag. Secondly, his own personality played a roll to ease for the take over. Recall that he was the architect behind whatlater evolved to become Gorbachov's Perestroika. So, it comes down to what I usually say "our leaders still come from among us". We must make a better "US" to eventually have better leaders. Mr Shevardnadze was able to overcome his libido and swallow his pride we the truth came dazzling on his face. Power always corrupt and power always confer certain privileges.
