I posted that image and linked the video on all the reviews.

This is quite interesting and I think it will move anyone. Just wondering who the "lord" in the LRA abbreviation is.
If you wish to live wisely, ignore sayings including this one.

Sooo guys, I hate to be that guy, but apparently there's an entire wall of information about this that the video left out.

"And while the Ugandan military has been heavily involved in the hunt for the LRA over the past few years, it also has been widely criticized for human rights abuses including rape of women and looting of mineral resources.
Some observers suggest that the Ugandan military, controlled for 25 years by Uganda’s authoritarian president Yoweri Museveni, could have defeated the LRA many years ago if it had chosen to do so."

That isn't even to mention that the criticism Invisible Children have received for their appropriation of funds, among other things.

I'm not giving them money, I just think Kony should be given justice for the atrocities he has committed

Jusssooo we're all clear, I wasn't say I thought that it was a bad thing, just that it had flaws.
I'm still glad that the video happened.
