Stan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 somethings catch me by surprise. Was chatting with folks from Uganda while I was there recently.The topic came up of the best president they had. The results were Idi Amin Dada, often called the Hitler of Africa. They said his big problem was the he killed to many people. If you were late for meeting with him 3 times, bam, life was offer. But when it came to economics and more he came out on top. That was a weird conversation.

D_Bishop Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Belgium king Leopold II made Hitler look like a choir boy. He had 10 million africans killed in the Congo. He mutilated many more by cutting off their arms. It funny how history never says much about him. It is recorded somewhere though. Stan 1 Quote

Not quite, Hitler killed 6 million Jews! But he also killed another 7-11.5 million others!! Not trying to make this a contest as to who killed more than who, but never under estimate the damage that Hitler did!!

D_Bishop Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 The thing is Leopold II is hardly mentioned in history. The things he did are written off as the price of doing business in colonial africa. Quote
