		<description>Rebecca: why is the West so hypocritical? Why the duplicity and the applying of double standards? 

You accept and support homosexuality which you Westerners find normal. You find normal even same sex &#039;marriages&#039;. You accept a man or a woman to have as many partners as he or she wants; but, you come down hard and are very harsh on polygamy. A man who gets married to more than one woman, even if the women are consenting is sent to jail; how can we forget the  extreme harshness that was used on the Utah polygamists! 

Polygamy is normal in Africa but we have never tried to force it on Europeans or Americans. Homosexuality is alien and repugnant to us, don&#039;t try to force it on us.</description>

		<description>@GUG I was supposed to write something, but it ended up getting too long. I&#039;m sure I have the drafts here somewhere. &lt;i&gt;Insha&#039;llah&lt;/i&gt;, I will get to write it. Perhaps on &lt;a href=&quot;http://thekampalan.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Kampalan&lt;/a&gt; (where I can write and still pretend to be not writing). :-D</description>

		<description>I was not going to comment.

Till I saw 27th comment.

This is to 27th, you know what brother, your silence has been deafening. Matter of fact. Deafening. And, cowardly.

If you think my allies shouldnt defend me, while you keep so cowardly silent, why do you blame me for seeking out those allies? Typical intellectual. You know all the impractical solutions, but, damned if you can come up with a credible idea.

Hush, hush. The rant is out of the way.

Dear 27th. Yes, I still love you. But, I hate the solution that the only solution is to do nothing. It is infuriating. Its better a revolutionary like you keeps his damned mouth shut....

Ok. Now, to the aid. It has a precedent. In Dec 1999, M7 famously ordered the arrest of all us homos. Sweden told him no way. He recanted.

And, our poor nation is not isolated. Not at all. We are dependant on other countries. Whether it is only to be seen as good members of the international community. If it was possible, yes, I would say, not the AIDS aid. But, the military money. Afterall, most of it is getting embezzled. You will see how quickly, and silently, the bill dies.

Sadly, the Americans still want us to fight their war on terror. So, it is not likely to happen soon.

But, silence is not an option. Pull a bit on your brains, brother.</description>

		<description>Cutting AIDS aid (no, I don&#039;t stammer usually) would only have the effect of punishing some people for living in a country that disagrees with the Almighty(?) USA on how homosexuals should be treated. That would be a bad thing compounded onto another bad thing.

And stopping any form of aid, military or otherwise, would only wean the government from Western dependency (to be replaced with Eastern dependency or some such). Weaning from aid in and of itself is good.

But if people should start getting negative effects because some Protector of the Homosexuals has flexed a muscle, there will be the most-evil backlash against homosexuals, the kind that now only exists in the minds of over-eager American activist types. (At this point, I don&#039;t know more homosexuals who have been mistreated more than, say, marijuana smokers. But after the US causes economic havoc for their sake, we just might wake up to burning homos.)

In short, please Western World, don&#039;t fuck with this. It&#039;s none of your fucking business. Your languages make a distinction between humane behaviour and being a human. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ours don&#039;t.&lt;/a&gt; So shut the fuck up and let us do the sensible thing - reversing what you&#039;ve done thus far.

Sheesh!

(Hey, you missed the TED conference. It was off the chain. You shoulda been there! It was totally your kind of meeting.)</description>
