The Mistakes of Idi Amin

In reality, Idi Amin was a pretty smart guy. He had a lot of intelligence because you don't carry out a regime like this and keep it going for eight years without that. Most of his actions were pretty logical. Mass murder is a time-honored way to stay in power; exiling the Asians tank Ugandans' economy. But he made more mistakes as time went on. One of those was alienating Israel.
