But here's the kicker.. If you have one child molester in your neighbourhood, you can bet thousands of people will scream and spend tons of money to get him out ASAP..

But if he is in Africa molesting hundreds and thousands of children, who cares.. ..
but sending to money to IC will do what exactly? Fund more film making?

Not really.. I think the point is the kits include posters, information and stuff that is not free.. When was the last time you had promo kits done to inform the public or for a company ?

By the way, this site OTz work with "donations" are you 'required" to give..

The point at the stage, as much as money is welcomed, is to raise awareness and to pass on the information.

As much as this could be a dead issue, at minimum it is raising the level of the issues in Africa. If Kony is not there, as I have said earlier, someone else will replace him.. That's what scares me..

My skepticism, as I said, is not about the validity of the issue at hand but the timing and the credibility of the organization involved.

As Mr Meek may well have mentioned, the video make mention of the Obama administration being the first to listen and take "action"

That sticks in my mind, of course when publicity backfires, we often see a shift in policy

True but this is not a new story..

Why does it not get much attention.. Simply because America gets very little Oil from Africa although Africa has lots of Oil.. China has jumped the gun and soaked up as much as it can from those countries as it could care less about abuses while it says it does.. America still has pressure to keep other "friendly" allies happy by buying their Oil.

Who really cares about Africa right.. I mean they had a famine years ago in Somalia and it took almost wiping out 1/2 the country before we all heard about it..

But here's the kicker.. If you have one child molester in your neighbourhood, you can bet thousands of people will scream and spend tons of money to get him out ASAP..

But if he is in Africa molesting hundreds and thousands of children, who cares.. Maybe he is dead so why bother.. Let's all believe this although he has been charges in the World Court of Law..

They kept saying Osama was dead as well.. Great way to keep the pressure off when you don't want to be found.. I guess keeping a low profile is a good way to stay alive while you have others say your dead for the atrocities you have done..

There is no worse crime then to attack, molest and kill children..

You're absolutely right.

Men from Ft. Bragg went to Africa last year for this reason, to little fanfare in the media.

The fact that these advisors were publicly noted to use deadly force to defend themselves tells me that our government wants this man dead.

For myself, that is a good thing.

I'm going to finally watch this today, just so I can see the annoying people in it for myself.
