It goes without saying that these events became a turning point in the eyes of ordinary Americans. They knew more than never before that not even in their own country are they safe.
Now it is my plea that all Ugandans of all ages join the American people in remembering this day. But I also pray that the American leaders get better guidance in making right decisions that affect other nations, believing in the knowledge that we are all equal before God. At the same time we should remember those innocent Iraqis who lost their lives during recent war to topple Saddam Hussein. They too were not part of Saddam’s terror regime and need our remembrance.
Finally, may I correct Pastor Robert Kayanja who, in his “Healing America” message, asks us to join him “deliver the message of healing to both America and the world”! America is part of this world.
