What do you all think?

It shows me the organization is still focus on helping the people of Uganda. Charity Naviagator rates them pretty good.

I am pretty sure if I was in Uganada, I would want protection or people to protect me. I really think the people critizing the organization and calling it a scam really didn't do their research. Good job to Invisible Children for making a great campaign and I hope other charities also do blitz campaign. We may not be able to help them all but 5 minutes of fame can help bring in a lot of funds to continue their cause.

This video is really something! I believe in a better globe without kony but we need to help Uganda catch kony it can't be just us and it needs to be done the right way so another uprising doesn't span off of this and lead to more harm for humans

 

[Macclan_06]

This also gives humans a great chance to unite for a better life of somebody else! Great step forward in humanity today creating a more global citizen human picture.. Pretty soon the pear shaped society we live in will turn on its head once enough people are on board

As an American I don't care if my tax money is spent protecting people especially in this case.

 

[phamhlam]

Protecting what people in Iraq or Afghanistan? They are out there hunting terrorist. In Iraq, there are only the troops left in the Green Zone to defend the embassy which I don't have a probe with.

 

[phamhlam]

He didn't say anything about starting a war. He just supported our money going to the mission. This is just a small mission to help the people of Uganda find Kony and bring him to justice while providing aid to the people. It is not a trillion dollar war like Iraq or Afganistan.

I have this horrible feeling the money they collect might not go to the right place to actually help.

Uganda will just be teeming with do gooder film crews driving around giving kids chocolate bars.

They should just hire one of those US mercenary groups to go in and "clean up".

Put the rest into helping the country build a better sustistence economy.

 

[phamhlam]

The money they collect either get used for getting awareness and to help build school and a warning system to defend from attacks. It is our US advisor that is on the ground helping Uganada capture him. I also don't think people would want their money going to a charity that hire mercenary to kill.

 

[amdfangirl]

Not to mention the children soldiers he would use as bodyguards.

 

[phamhlam]

I think you are right. Even if we arrest/kill/neutralize this Kony monster, there will just be another to take his place.

We always have to try to stop them. Even though there would be one to take his place, they still must go down like Osama, Saddam, and Ghadaffi.
