Yesterday's attacks, however, are likely to force the Ugandan government to rethink -- or at least justify -- its involvement in Somalia. Indeed, across Uganda today, questions are already being raised. Many Ugandans are now wondering why their country went to Somalia in the first place and are seeing the attacks as a good reason to leave. "The United States went into Afghanistan and Iraq with the argument that we have to take the war to the terrorists," said Daniel Kalinaki, managing editor of the Daily Monitor, Kampala's largest independent newspaper. "In our case, we've gone to foreign shores to fight and maintain a peace, and we've brought the war to our own territory." Odocken, the tennis player who survived the bombing, argued, "If Uganda doesn't stop, these people will keep on [attacking us]."
In fact, some escalation of the AU mission was already being planned before the attacks.
