Jal Ocii, Thanks for your bluntness. Truth must be spoken, not only to power but also to the people and the power seekers. During the electoral campaigns last year, I remember chastising the opposition parties for reserving their venom for each other.
Politics is the art of the possible. It is also the art of making coalitions and utilizing all means that don't require you to abandon your principles to get what you want. As things stand, the probability that an ailing UPC will remove Museveni all on its own is close to zero. No, I'm being generous. It is pure fantasy. But of course, we can't quite match the self-destructive energies of political dilettantes who like to grandstand and vituperate their (potential) allies in e-mail discussion forums instead of doing the hard work of organizing Ugandans for more democratic alternatives.
