General Sir Chandos Blair, 56, and retired Major Iain Grahame, 43, who were Amin's military commanders when he was a soldier in the now. disbanded King's African Rifles. When the envoys reached Kampala, they were greeted by a guard of honor and a military band. Amin was off at a rally in honor of African Refugee Day. This was a nice irony, since a sizable number of Africa's refugees today include blacks who have fled from Big Daddy's capricious repression-not to mention the 50,000 Asian...
