I have seen Hussein Juruga Amin's posting on Ugandans – at – Heart yahoo group where he tries to vilify the murderous acts of his late father – Idi Amin Dada. His arrogance and lack of remorse for the victims of his father caught my eyes. I have read the eloquence of Mr. Juruga Amin elsewhere in articles he writes so succinctly in our local media. In all his thought provocative articles, he writes rather conspicuously to inform the world that the Amin prodigy is not ashamed of his father's excesses, has no remorse for families and the relatives of those who were killed senselessly during the regime of terror that his father presided over and that they owe no one an apology – least humility!

My deeply seated fear is that someone who so ferociously defends a psychopath is himself most likely a psychopathy. In some of his postings in the Ugandans – at – Heart (UAH) Forum, Hussein claims that no one can pin his father on any single murder. He challenges anyone with such evidence(s) to go to court so that only the court, can declare that his father was insane, murderous, deluded and cold hearted dastardly killer.

Well, the court is also a victim and so are the Police and the Military. When Chief Justice Ben Kiwanuka was murdered in broad day light after he was dragged from his chambers, there was no doubt that Uganda was facing doom. I am yet to find a person who never lost a relative, even a distant one, during Amin's regime. The terror under which people subsisted then, makes defending Amin, and especially when such a defense is coming from one of his own sons, a reflection of an epic of genetic formation of mental illness only transmissible from father to son.

Mr. Juruga's defense of his father's tyranny is fragile but it also helps to conjure up sad memories and images for many survivors of that terror together with that of their relatives.

At this point when the Ugandan government under President Museveni has depreciated so low - way below the much coveted years of Idi Amin - Mr. Juruga needed self restraint and a pose to allow Ugandans to heal and maybe forgive them. As if evoking the images of Idd Amin is not enough, Mr. Juruga adds to his rather unconscionable defense another spin of tribalism.

Ugandans are at a stage of deep reflection, comparing performances of past regimes, whether of Swine or Ducks with what they have right now. A seemingly common convergence point is that all the past regimes performed better than the NRM and all past leaders were more Nationalists and Patriots than Museveni – at least Obote and Amin could be exemplified given their commitment to Pan Africanism and investment in our people and institutions which Museveni has destroyed.

So, what is the point of Mr. Hussein Juruga Amin shoving the purported innocence of his father down the throats of Ugandans? Does he expect that Ugandans in the UAH will just acknowledge the innocence of his father and then, like the wand of the magician, wipe out all the horrors from our memories such that the regime's excesses from 1971 – 79 will be forgotten?

Let me advise this man who appear to be enduring false confidence and an alter ego overspill. Ugandans are not stupid. They may be forgiving but definitely they are not dense. You should be thankful for the acceptance you have been offered in public space; you may be duplicitous to weave your way into the mainstream fabric of civilized society with humility but not by peddling imaginary innocence of the monster your father was. Cut that bullshit!!

The more you try to defend the indefensible, the more you stir settled minds and angry spirits. Spirits of those who fell to your father's delusion may start to turn with unease in their unknown graves. But be advised also that by denying the wrongs of your father, which naturally you should not be doing right now, may attract sentimental animosity to you as a person. You may be hit in revenge from unsuspecting persons who is still grieving the loss of their loved ones which happened during your father's reign of terror and in his behest.  In fact, you are endangering your life and that of your family by provoking revenge sentiments. And some people are as crazy as that! Be advised that dead bodies cannot not defend themselves but us who are survivors live with the memories and deep losses of our beloved ones.
