Well, I was assigned a thesis paper on Uganda's ex-dictator Idi Amin, and I was wondering how I could make it into an exploration on him, his coup, or etc. in a libertarian way (you know to sway a couple of people in my class into Libertarianism). Any suggestions?

I actually already have it recorded on my DVR from a couple months ago, I knew it might come in handy.
Idi Amin, what a character. He dreamed that god told him to banish all the Indians (South Asians) from Uganda. So he followed through on that and expelled all of them. Most found refuge in the UK and India.
The Indians had basically created most of the wealth in Uganda and with them gone, it basically went into demise. The ugandans got what was left over, and sold the metal from the factories for scrap and ate all the seeds. Uganda regressed further into poverty. Thats Idi Amin for you.

Thanks for that, I think I'll go look up the effects of ousting the Southern Asians from Uganda.

This just shows that with all the guns at the states disposal, anyone who attains the top spot in the state apparatus can just conspire with the military and rule with an iron fist- bypass the checks and balances that social contract theorists hold so dearly, scary stuff.
do we get free cheezeburger in socielism?

Any suggestions? What kind of thesis are you allowed to do? Could you take the suggestions above and turn it into "Idi Amin and the Criminality of the State" or something like that. If your attempting to integrate Amin into the libertarian attack on the state, see here [hyperlink broke, google chrome's fault] http://mises.org/story/2352

I'm only I'm only in middle school (and its public), so I would be ousted (see morse v. fredrick) forr advocating a supposedly extremist view-yet I would like to put a libertarian slant on it (I was thinking on doing it on the effects on the expansionary policies of Europe and how it lead to the rise of Idi, and then conclude with an Austrian Perspective on how they can correct their economy).
