Democracy with a big stick
A terrorist attack on a Ugandan school, by rebels linked to Islamic State, left twenty-five victims dead and eight in critical condition. The wider death toll may be higher.
Police say the attack on Friday was carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) - a Ugandan group based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

They may call themselves the Allied Democratic Forces
, but terrorism doesn't seem very democratic to me. Perhaps they have a wicked sense of humour. Or perhaps they share Vladimir Putin's idea of democracy, as it's enforced in Russia; only as much as it suits the agenda.
George Carlin nailed it: if crime-fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fire, what do freedom-fighters fight?
