I have mixed feelings about this campaign.

So many issues at home and with much closer countries before we set out for witch hunts (literally) for every warlord in Africa. The movement has enough emotional appeal for a pysop to cloud over Israels aggression to Iran but also enough emotional pull to distract from the real sources for problems at home. Paradox, if you will.

What will invisible Children attack if they can't find a man in his own jungle? We couldn't even catch Osama hiking through mountains.

Actually, i think its a great idea. Especially for the teenagers who would feel more of an inspiration from this and wanting to do something. its an opportunity for them to fight a bad guy who's hurting one of their own.

The us has not sent over an army to fight/look for the guy but a handful of 'advisors'. i hardly think that is taking away resources from a million plus army.

The video sends the message that foreign parties (sometimes arms dealers) being destabilizing influences to countries. I wonder where they ever got that idea from?

Apprehending Kony is a trojan horse for another game.
