Kony 2012

I have just watched the "Kony 2012" video that has attracted nearly 50 million viewers since it came out four days ago. Question one. How many people had even heard of this man five days ago? Not me and I suspect only a fraction of the people watching the video. The little boy had an effect on me, he was a genuinely sad and despairing boy who deserves help and understanding. I had tears in my eyes listening to his awful story. It was later on in the video that alarm bells started ringing, not because the cause wasn't just, but because of the celebrities and politicians that were becoming involved. For instance, Bono, that fine upstanding philanthropic, tax evading globalist puppet who spouts on about helping the underprivileged while charging upwards of £80 pounds for a ticket to see his band. The man is two faced. Also, we have to look into the background of this man Kony. At worst he is exactly what he has been portrayed in the video. However, the actual ruler of Uganda is a genocidal maniac who massacred well over three million people when his army invaded the Congo a few years ago. He is the man that the video says needs help to eradicate Kony. The fact is that the USA have had 100 military advisers in Uganda for quite a while and still this man has not been found. One of the other reasons for this desperation to send in troops could be because the Chinese government have a substantial presence in the continent of Africa to do with natural resources, ie. copper, cobalt, uranium, gold etc. and the US basically want the Chinese out of the region. A military base in Uganda would, strategically be very beneficial to the US. The whole thing smells of a ruse to get public support for military intervention in the continent of Africa.
My opinion is that if this is a genuine attempt to get rid of a criminal warlord and save ordinary people from genocide then surely the UN should be heading up a force to do this job. Personally, I don't think the UN or the US government care what happens to the people of Uganda. They are pursuing their own agenda and will do so regardless.
If you have not watched the video, please do and I would like to hear your opinions.
