I wonder how many of these people sharing it were the same ones protesting AGAINST the Iraq war that we started nearly ten years ago to remove Iraq's bad guy for them. Robert Mugabe has been commiting mass human rights atrocities to people in his country for decades, strangely there has been no moral crusade yet.... *Caugh* NO OIL *Caugh*

Maybe it's just the "won't somebody please think of the children" thing...I guess when the people who are in need include grown ups too and are less cute and cuddley, the folk of the internet are less inclined to take a stand.

Nice speech but there are flaws on it...
Anyway... people in internet or all over the world only care for trends... "it's a trend to post things about Kony, let's do it too!"
It doesn't matter if they are cute or children, or whatever... people nowadays only care for two things: animals and gay rights.
I'm not saying they should be casted aside the rights, but there are so many things put on hold! Woman's rights, the terrorrism, religious fights, constitutions all over the globe... and the human rights! The world is heading nowhere, people are getting colder each day, fanatism and intolerence are driving people's concious... the eorld is living in a seige.

Everything is easier than it seems to.

How much millions I've read that they own/are spending?

Put all that money together as a bounty to Kony's head.

how nice of you.

Africa is a rich continent with many resources.

I think Westerners and Europeans and corporations should give Africa back to its people and leave them alone!
stop sending millions and billions of dollar to help feed their people while controlling their land and let them feed themselves!
Of course human greed will never allow them to do that.

Kony is going to be another Osama

this whole thing seems kinda fishy... idk mang...

Hahah that's actually hilarious xD

I like this guy better

This Kony thing is crazy. I watched a video of some guy talking about the US and other first world countries trying to keep Africa in a state of disrepair, for lack of a better word, by funding their warlords then helping to take them down years later. The guy is obviously wearing a tin-foil hat but it was still interesting nevertheless. What's also interesting is that the Ugandans who have seen the video (North Ugandans in particular) are extremely critical of it;

"But Stephen Oola, a lawyer with the Kampala-based Refugee Law Project, disagrees. Oola is from Gulu, a town in northern Uganda that was hit hard by the LRA, and his organization works with displaced Ugandans trying to rebuild their lives. He says it is a mistake to focus on removing Kony, since the region’s problems are much more complex.

“Kony did not start that rebellion, and that is where the context is missing," noted Oola. "It was started by ex-soldiers who were pushed out of power. So who are we to think that taking out Kony wouldn’t bring another Kony? For the campaign to portray the issue as Kony vs. humanity is to miss the point. It’s a bigger political problem, and something we have been struggling with in this country.”

The people of northern Uganda are not looking for the kind of international military action Invisible Children is trying to rally, says Oola, a fact that the video’s makers blithely ignore.
“Couldn’t they consult? Couldn’t they include some local voices? People on the ground do not buy the messages, and they don’t want that help," he said. "Even if Invisible Children thought they were helping, that is not the help people want.”

So many people are jumping on this campaign to find one man, albeit an evil one, when the real problem lies so much deeper than that. If Invisible Children, and by extension all the internet bandwagoners, really cared about the people of Africa/Uganda then they wouldn't have presented their campaign the way they did.
