You are welcome to intervene PERSONALLY. Don't make the gov steal our money to go give it to the richest guy there. That's what Ron says.
 
Hmmm lets see...

The U.S. should go and take out a supposedly brutal dictator/warlord half across the globe while at the same time spreading freedomdust?
Nope cant see how anything could go wrong there... :rolleyes:

A government is completely immoral. It is a pack of thugs that only has power through the use of force and because of this it is totally immoral or aka a "necessary evil". Morality only comes from individuals and in nearly every case what is moral for each individual person is what makes them the most happy. Obviously you, and me and quite a few people here and millions of others would be made most happy by seeing this guy brought to justice. You, and me, and all those people then, have a moral obligation to do something about it because it is in our own interests, in whatever way we wish (donations, spreading awareness, supporting companies who give a % of their profits in support, whatever). There is absolutely no moral authority to force anyone to support something against their will and that is exactly what you would be doing by getting the US military involved in this.

People in Uganda are raising hell because this is misleading and they're worried that it could foster problems.

The directors have publicly stated that this movie's timeline is misleading.

The charity is lobbying for a bill for the US to intervene in another place it is not needed.
 
I just read that the video maker admits to "simplifying" the story, which usually means playing loose with the facts. I didn't watch it past 7 minutes though. snoozefest
 
Well , one of you should post some of the atrocities committed by the Ugandan Army that has gotten 500 million American tax payer dollars to help themselves be rid of this guy who has been running around for thirty years. He probably is not in Uganda now .Probably should also consider the support LRA gets from Khartoum...
 
Interesting follow up here. Looks like the video may be bullshit.

A DOCUMENTARY and social media campaign to publicize the atrocities of Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony has been labelled "highly inappropriate" by members of the East African nation.

In the town of Gulu, where Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) was once focused, community health director Beatrice Mpora told the(London) Daily Telegraph Kony no longer reigned in the region.

"There has not been a single soul from the LRA here since 2006. Now we have peace, people are back in their homes, they are planting their fields, they are starting their businesses. That is what people should help us with."

Kony's army fled Uganda six years ago and the strongman and his fighters are now spread throughout many neighbouring countries, it was reported.

Ugandan journalist Rosebell Kagumire agreed with Mpora, saying, "This paints a picture of Uganda six or seven years ago, that is totally not how it is today. It's highly irresponsible."

A spokesman for Uganda's defense and army, Felix Kulayigye, told The Wall Street Journal that Kony was already a spent force. "The world is just realizing the evil in this man, but these are the things we have pointed out countless times in the past," Kulayigye said. "Good enough, we have decimated his capabilities now."
Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity and war crimes including murder, sexual slavery and using children as combatants.

Is the video maker just trying to make money off the past tragedy? Or is this sort of thing used as the justification for more international intervention in African countries?

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if the point of the video was actually to give outdated and false information to the public so the reactions could be studied. After listening to the intro, that is honestly what I got from it. Here is a comment from the video: "When he said 'experiment', he meant to see how dumb you people really are." :p
 
Of course its a money making bullshit piece that the government supports for obvious reasons. When you are done with your homework... maybe we can fix the mess here at home?? Just a thought.
