Another Third Reich Starting?

A Ugandan newspaper’s decision to publish the names of alleged homosexual men is a “chilling development”, New York-based Human Rights Watch says.

Last month the Red Pepper paper printed 45 first names and professions or areas of work of alleged homosexual men.

HRW says the move could foreshadow a government crackdown in the country, where homosexuality is illegal.

But an editor at the paper told the BBC that it was not a witch hunt and that no man on the list was identifiable. (source)

Didn’t we do this once before? It was called the Third Reich, where they rounded up people and put them into concentration camps. This is how it all started.

Of course, to be fair, Uganda isn’t the only country doing things like this. After all, just last summer, two teenagers were hanged in Iran just for being homosexual, and since then, there are now “death squads” looking for gays to murder in Iraq. Of course, since the United States is in Iraq, we are doing.... well, nothing to stop them. You see, that’s the new Iraqi government’s decision to have these people killed, or at least stand by while it happens.

So much for democracy.
