our first call is from robert who calls from elizabeth, new jers jersey, on the line for democrats. caller: yes. i believe that in reference to the uganda situation, i believe that the united states should remain neutral and stay out of this. we do have our own problems here, and we have been fighting wars for quite some time, expressly fighting wars for other countries. and i think in lieu of our situation financially and trying to get our situation straightened out we should stay out of it. host: how much of this information about the situation in uganda did you get on line and how much of it has spurred you to any activism, getting in touch with your lawmakers or other people who might be able to affect the situation? >> as i stated, it is a very tough situation and i think that the individual should be brought to justice. and i have seen in various clips -- newspaper and online -- but as i stated, i think that the united states should remain neutral because it is only going to cause us problems and loss of lives fighting wars trying to help another countries. host: bill on the l
