It's kind of funny ..... I too hope that this is a successful campaign, my only concern is this .... If you watch the video when they show the list of people they want to bring to trial .....Kony's #2 is right behind him .... They need to make sure that they catch both of these idiots otherwise it will be a waste ........
Hope we can stay the hell away from this. Last thing we need is to get involved in more world policing. You take one out of power 2 will rise Africa is full of problems that American involvement will only worsen.

I tend to disagree with you on this one. This is actually a war I could get behind. When deciding whether to enter into combat with someone based on defending others, I don't like to fight for those who could fight for themselves. The "Arab Spring" thing in Lybia and Egypt, I was totally against any US involvement because there are enough grown people in those countries to over throw their government if they so choose and are brave enough. These are children we're talking about. I'll fight for them where they are incapable.
Bring back the general draft. If Americans want endless war, they will enlist in droves, if they can't support the reasons for our engagements, they won't. Democracy is a beautiful, messy, thing.
Wes-----I agree with bout everything you said here. I do think Kony is a bad dude and would love to see him killed (sorry, its the truth), but I have no desire for us to do it and spend more time and money AND LIVES to make it happen.
Well, what I'm hearing most everyone say is that they don't want to sacrifice "more" of our solders lives on this issue. So what you guys are saying is that if we hadn't already been fighting in countries that have more than enough people to fight for themselves and had a bunch of our soldiers killed for reasons a lot of us disagree with, we'd be all over this. The issue really isn't whether we should help or not, it's that we haven't put our military in a good situation to help people who are really in need by spreading them so thin over the course of the last 10 years.
