Kony 2012 is stupid

[Nick]

So there is a viral movement to make Joseph Kony infamous and catch him has sprung across the the internet over the last couple days. Who is Joseph Kony you ask? Watch this video to find out:

On other sites on the internet I am just going to say the Politically Correct thing but here I wanted to talk with the like minded individuals about how naive and dumb this is.

Maybe it went viral because of bandwagoners...

You aren't going to magically catch him just by posting Kony 2012 if the American government actually listened to their people instead of their lobbyists then you might have a chance. Also what is killing Kony going to accomplish in the bigger picture? Yes he is a criminal but there are tons of criminals and warlords who raise child soldiers in Africa. Taking out Kony himself won't stop the LRA nevermind the problem of child soldiers because people will feed off the instability in the region and replace him. The US won't get invested in fixing Africa because they have nothing to gain from it and I don't really think they should honestly.

So this it the main topic for discussion? I suggest you guys check the background of the producers before commenting. The video was made by "non-profit group" Invisible Children. Good to raise awareness about the problem. As for the solution they are advocating, seems a bit naive. Smells fishy.
