Saddam Is Gone, But Many Questions...

Posted on Jan 4th, 2007 by Saidi : The SAE Saidi
Can Two Wrongs Make a Right? When one kills, must we kill him in revenge?Is justice also turning a dictatorship and is it really just? Saddam faced disguised justice. Did it do the necessary to convince the world? Was the killing of Saddam personal (between two presidents?
Above all: Is the Death Penalty the Best Way to Eliminate Killers, Assassins, Murderers and any wrong doers who could be viewed to deserve it?

True,  a dictator he was. So What??

It comes to a time in my life to witness (though not in my physical presence) the killing of once a great leader. Truly a great leader in his own style. We are in a world of change. We are looking for visionary minds and visionary leaders. Justice reaches its climax and says, "kill him because he killed the other"-right? But is justice just?
May be it is, may be it is not.
Was it the right time and way to kill Saddam?
May be it should have been done at a later time. May be it should not even have been carried out because I don't think where he is now he actually knows that he was killed because he killed.
Once one dies, he is simply gone. Does he realise that he made mistakes? Surely not. If justice could erase among its sentences the DEATH SENTENCE and uphold and implement LIFE IMPRISONMENT, I think that could look more paying than death sentence. I finish with the following statements: No one is supposed to judge anyone's fate. That should be left upon the heavens. When one murders and you kill him in revenge, it should also be a case to answer. If justice condemns killing, I don't think it should have death sentence in its vocabulary. Leaders at whatever level), whatever sentence is upheld, please check up and style up in your leadership. Life is precious. We all want to live. I condemn dictatorship from the highest point of my spirit. That's why I consider a death sentence also a result of dictatorship from the point of the Justice that I don't want to consider Just. I leave with a question: WHO RULES THE WORLD? WHO JUDGES COUNTRIES' LEADERS?HOW DOES A LEADER DECIDE THE FATE OF THE OTHER MOREOVER IN THE SAME POSITION AND IN A DIFFERENT CONTINENT (even resulting in the death of his own people)? That is greed and selfishness of the highest order!  All this is brought about by positionary stands of our leaders. They always want to fight and defend.... They are always on the defensive! They are very greedy. Cupidity is their highest point of eating as they RULE.

Network the World, Notable Positive Changes Will be Realised

Posted on Jan 4th, 2007 by Saidi : The SAE Saidi

Through a good year, here comes another promising one (notwithstanding the blunders sometimes made by JUSTICE itself)


Year by year, times change, lives change and indeed that's why we
turned gradually from the industrial era to the current information
age.
So can we act so that many are informed of it?.
Can we avail information technology to the whole world? Won't we have solved many problems at ago, mostly in such countries as Uganda? If we combine hands, don't we think we shall build a better future and indeed build a better future for every one?


Don't we think it is possible to network town by town, country by country, continent by continent and then, may not be now or tomorrow or next year but sometime network the world?

Please let's do it.

All these questions answered will have solved many WHAT IFs and the world will move fast and positively informatively and technologically.

Let's Not Attach Circumcision to Religion

Posted on Jan 6th, 2007 by Saidi : The SAE Saidi
Health is Wealth

It's absurd. It's hurting. I can't imagine someone can be opposed to circumcision saying "I CAN'T circumcise. I'm I a moslem? I hate that religion"
I witnessed it yeaterday from my friend misleading a crowd of around five young men, and it inflicted excruciating pain on my heart as I wondered whether hygiene and religion should be related in any way. And I suspect many people think about it in same way.
I have a feeling that instead of exposing our ignorance, we better learn first and analyse other than making lousy conclusive remarks. Right from birth we learn up to death as long as we have open minds.

My last questions to him (as he was the noisiest) before I left the scene were:
- Do you believe in Jesus as God? Of course I asked questions basing on his religion.
"Absolutely", he replied.
- Was he a moslem?
"We believe in him as christians, so he wasn't", that was his ignorant belief.
- Was he circumcised or not?
"He surely was", contradicting he became.
- Alright, keep preaching lies. I left him to cool down.

I, therefore, decided that I share some of the facts I know about the avantages of circumcision and advise people out there to (if they can) circumcise or not to discourage their friends from doing it.
Please DO NOT instill fear in your friend.

- Cancer of the Penis: This disease is almost completely confined to uncircumcised men and, less commonly, in those circumcised after the new-born period.
- Being uncircumcised you have a higher risk contracting syphilis and gonorrhea .
- Paraphimosis (where the retracted foreskin cannot be brought back again over the glans) is a very painful problem, relieved by circumcision or slitting the dorsal surface of the foreskin.
- In terms of hygiene, circumcision is best, infections are minimal.

GOOD LUCK.

JUSTICE = MURDER??

Posted on Jan 6th, 2007 by Saidi : The SAE Saidi

Now, if one wanted to know how justice commits crimes against humanity, take a look by clicking here if you didn't have an eye on it.

This is true murder of the highest order in the face of the world.
Whoever led it, whoever supported it and whoever witnessed in support, and whoever had a hand in whatever way, be it in the name of JUSTICE or anything, God bless him/her because there is simply no difference between him Saddam, Bin Laden or any other terrorist, only that the modes of murder may be different.

FORWARD WITH VISION.

I Love Informing and Being Informed.

Posted on Jan 8th, 2007 by Saidi : The SAE Saidi

I love sharing information on zaadz and all interactive and educative websites.
I blogged about CIRCUMCISION (in my opinion) and please read one of the zaadzster's reaction and my appreciative feedback. But there's yet more to learn though it didn't come through comments but through a zaadz message. I really love it as it gives more options now.

"

Hey, thanks!  I love zaadz too and am glad to meet you here.  Read some of your blog...surprised by your position on circumcision.  I've done a LOT of research into the subject and have come to a totally opposite conclusion - that not only are the facts you've presented based on dubious studies, but circumcision actually diminishes a man's sexual pleasure by more than half - and because it changes the physical function of the penis in intercourse, has been widely denounced by women for detracting from their pleasure as well - and makes it more difficult for him to bond with his lover through intense orgasm - not to mention it makes it more difficult for him to tell when he is about to ejaculate and it leads to all kinds of psychosexual issues.  I've provided a link to some info on this below - even if you disagree with the medical aspects of it, genital mutilation without consent is, as far as I'm concerned, a moral atrocity.

Food for thought.

Always in Support, Support Vision In Uganda...

Posted on Jan 31st, 2007 by Saidi : The SAE Saidi
Once One Starts, One Aims at Completion (with Perfection to Success)

http://revolution.zaadz.com

Yes Zaadzsters and friends, Namaste.

Here is the man, the zaadster and friend for all, born a warrior but in a peaceful mood.

I'm very happy to bring to your notice that the Vision Force Uganda (VFU) I indicated on my profile is a youth program still in infant stages. We want to register it as an NGO that will help the youths-ourselves inclusive. We for starters decided to start young by opening up an internet cafe called Vision Cafe-Simply full of Vision.

Origin

I have a friend (Clovis-I hope you know or have heard about him) with whom I was at University up to October 2006. He has a friend from the States called Michael Skye who sent him educative, inspiring and enlightening programs that I was able to access. They concerned Vision, Entrepreneurship and Leadership. He even sent some inspirational books we had never accessed such as The Power of Now, Man's Search for Meaning, Atlas Shrugged, think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad, etc for which we took our time and read thorouthly. That was really the beginning to our positive thinking that we carry with us wherever we are.

Since I was finishing University, and jobs in Uganda were (are) not that easy to get due to the high levels of unemployment, low technological development and corruption, we decided to combine efforts and brains in patnership.

Our biggest concerns were - in Uganda (just like in most parts of Africa)

-Unemployment

-Poor leadership, corruption, nepotism, sectarianism etc

-Poverty

-Human Rights in general and youths marginalisation etc,

and we knew that if we tied ourselves to looking for jobs here and there, yet with no money at all, we would be demoralised. Michael sent some money ($400) to Clovis which we used together to start a Life after School with a desire to change our lives and lives of other youths in Uganda and probably in Africa. So Michael Sent us $1340 and advised us to start something that could act as the beginning of change in our lives and we started an internet cafe called Vision Cafe with the following reasons (among others):

- High costs of internet access in Uganda: So it was in our minds that once more Ugandan youths got access to cheap internet, they could probably get online friends who would help them out in times of need and possibly that would mark the beginning of change in their lives.

- Low technology development: With Vision Cafe, we were sure to keep expanding and hopefully we would network Uganda in the long run as we spread the word of Vision among our fellow youths.

- The internet cafe would act as a centre for our lectures, conferences, seminars and meetings with inspirational leaders and businessmen in Uganda that would ease our work of spreading VISION and how someone would achieve success regardless of his/her background. 
But with God nothing is impossible. That's why we usually tell our friends that with God, desire, faith, patience, there should be no such a word as IMPOSSIBLE (not even in the dictionaries).

So I can tell you that the beginning of my life was Clovis not because he was financially upright (as he was also a student) but just because he had a friend who helped us to take a stand, have a vision and spread the Word at the same time. We are now doing our best to achieve the best and helping the rest of the youths achieve the best.

Since internet is quite expensive to start, we were able to use the latter dollars to buy 2 computers, rent a room and put furniture. So we needed more computers, and then internet attainment and installation. .

Let's be together as one and let's get linked up at all times on Zaadz that has empowered us with vision and has inspired us to help ourselves and other youths.

God bless you.

NAMASTE.


Peace and Love
