Little do you all know of Joseph Kony. He is a horrible man, and his name needs to be known.

Watch that video, it's about him. He is in Africa and he abducts children in Africa, turning young girls into sex slaves and boys into soldiers. He makes them kill their own parents. He's been doing this for years, and he won't stop. This isn't just a few children, it's over 30,000.
I'm 14 years old, I know I don't have the power of a celebrity or a big name who can share it with the world. But why should I have a good life? Good friends. family, food, money, luxuries, school- when there are kids in Africa suffering, going to sleep at night scared of being kidnapped or killed.
This is your chance to make a difference. Do you think you can? Spread the word of Kony 2012. Not to praise him, but to make his name famous and known so we can find him and finally put an end to this. Everyone together can change this, are you willing to help?
Answer
Read up kiddo, because what you think you know isn't true, during the 90's Kony fought among his fighters and was a visible force in the LRA.(This was when people should have paid attention). The man is getting older though and he himself must realize that his chances of ruling the region completely will never happen during his life time. During the past 10 years Kony has been building the LRA to last, killing him, arresting him, shredding his body into fine dust, none of it changes anything or the situation in region. Compare killing him to killing Binladen, Al-Qaeda was almost unscathed by the event and the LRA will react in almost the same way. There are far more important things for the West to be doing in Africa.
1) The United States alone pours billions into African aid every year, a large portion of this aid goes to the 'governments' in Africa. Immediately most countries hand out a large portions of that money to the Tribes and War Chiefs to keep them satisfied so that they may 'spend it on their people'. What actually happens is that money goes to funding mercs and fighters which keeps fueling more wars in central Africa
2) There are far worse crimes in Africa going on, in the Congo multiple Congo resistance groups are burning villages, tested unknown chemicals, and blindly gassing massive amounts of land. In Somalia Al-Shabaab is kidnapping women and children and forcing the women to give birth to more soldiers, and raising the already kidnapped children as fighters. On top of this Al-Shabaab is funding pirates, and waging holy wars in neighboring countries forcing millions to flee the horn of Africa,
3) North Africa is burning itself down at an incredible rate, governments in the North are on the verge of collapse and already countries have begun to split.
All in all, it's great that people want to go after Kony, but it may already be too late to do anything except send troops to Uganda, and that won't really solve anything. People should focus on fixing the African aid system that exists so that the masses can be educated, ignorance is what gives ALL of these brutes their power. There are far more terrorist organizations in Africa than anywhere in the world, and thousands of mercenary groups have made a killing off of all the wars, so much so that many mercenary groups have bought land in central and north African nations(Essentially they've become their own military-micronation) Africa has been burning with the glow of war since well before even your great grand parent's time because of mistakes the world has made in intervening in events they didn't fully understand. Do any of you people seriously think for even a moment now that a single candle means anything when compared to an inferno that blazes brighter than a sun?
Keep your wits about you and educate yourself, the American Education system refuses to teach about these touchy tales but that's no excuse for you to blindly take a step BACKWARDS when dealing with the problem that is the stability in Africa.
Edit: Something to note, Kony may be 'evil' but the Ugandan government is no more innocent than he. Supporting the lesser of two evils in itself is evil and wrong.
