Lmao how can you take that guy seriously Damink?
He sounds x10 more messed up that Kony does lol.
Here are my thoughts:
Yes the IC org have realised that by going viral, they will make lots of money. So I'm starting to see that they don't actually care too much about the situation in Uganda, but care more about making money off people.
They have exaggerated facts to make their campaign seem stronger.
Kony has been out of the picture for about 6 years now.
The Ugandan government are just as bad, if not worse, than Kony.
There are lots of other problems in Africa that won't be solved any time soon.
However, having said that, if you push the whole "Invisible Children" thing out of the equation:
Kony is still an evil man, and should be arrested.
American troops are NOT going into Africa to kill, or arrest Kony, they are there to advise the Ugandan army.
(Not that it makes a difference. In fact advising the Ugandan army is probably worse than doing it themselves).
I WILL support the notion to capture Kony, just as I support the notion to capture any murderer/kidnapper/etc...
To think that there's an underlying reason for the whole campaign, other than for the IC to make a lot of money, (I.E. America planning to invade Africa for their oil or what-be-it), is in my opinion, simply paranoia. I think that's looking too much into things, and expecting the worst out of people. I may be wrong, but if every time somebody tries to do some good, you think straight away they're up to something bad, then how are you ever going to live a happy lifestyle?
Basically:
Invisible Children = Bad organisation, after your money.
Kony = Should be arrested as soon as possible.
I don't think there is anything else to the whole situation.
