this has just been brought to my attention, it is rather moving and if you have any compassion in you i strongly suggest you watch it, even if it is just so you know

Grim stuff and like a lot of bad people his actions have been public knowledge for years. I'd heard of him before as two members of our Quaker meeting have just got back from two years in Gulu in Northern Uganda which was the front line in the Kony's terror campaign until the LRA was driven over the boarder several years ago. Mike and Liz have been setting up a rehabilitation/ work project for survivors with mental health problems and have left in place a plastic bottle re-cycling scheme to employ people, which is a big achievement in a country like Uganda. Whether Kony is brought to justice or not doesn't really depend on public concern it depends on political goodwill in Sudan and the Congo. I won't be holding my breath...

I find it funny cause, when the US of A intervenes on some country they are an imperial power and the world police -> horrible.
but then, when its "your" cause, yes its legit that they act.
And then they often confuse UN resolutions with UN Security Council Resolutions, which aren't black and white, good or bad, they are mainly wining nations of the second world war with powers to decide when and where.
