Strip away all the political/societal positioning, all the "questionable" ways they may be spending the donations, all the hype, all the bandwagoning/"fad" stuff, and the fact still remains that, if this works, over 30,000 children will be freed from something worse than slavery, and far more will be freed from the fear of being murdered or abducted. I don't really give a damn about any of the other stuff, that just seems like something that, if it's possible to fix if we give our aid, we should do so without reservation.
Even if you don't think that's a great thing, look at it from a purely self-serving angle; every last one of these people will be forever indebted to us and will help us whenever we really need it. They won't forget having to kill their own parents and friends, you know.
I fully agree. People should be thinking about stopping Kony though and not buying bracelets and posters so they can show off that they donated.
