    I just watched the video. I've never really looked at problems like this. There definitely needs to be something done about it. Think about how much we could help if the BBC members just donated $1. I plan on purchasing the kit and participating on April 20.

    Watched the whole thing...and yes, the man is despicable. How he's lived this long in a region of lawlessness escapes me. The whole idea of "putting him out there" seems a pretty good idea...

    BUT...(there's always a "but")...I don't know how to say this nicely...and not have it turn the wrong way...anyway...here goes....

    ...at about the 19 minute mark, the video took a turn for me...yep...it seemed as though...well...it seemed as though it was a well veiled attempt to have this POS and his "reign" come to an end all the while laud the efforts of this government...this PARTICULAR government if you know what I mean...

    Look, I didn't watch it expecting anything in particular, but what I came away with is us wanting to end the life of another Idi Amin and have THIS administration be lauded for it...

    sorry...it's just what I got out of it...

    Interesting.

    I was about to share this as well and saw that someone else already did. I think everyone on the BBC should help out in this cause. We help out others all of the time on here, why not extend that help? Yes, there are many problems in this world, and all deserve attention, but solving them one at a time is better than doing nothing. I'll do my part to help out. It's not much, but again, it's better than doing nothing.

    I agree ... It might not be much but, I'll do my part.

    It's a sad world when headlines across North America read:

    Eli Released
    Stocks Plunge
    Snooki Pregnant
    Limbaugh loses more sponsors

    What's even more sad ? There are children in the world that go to bed every night fearful of whether or not they'll be alive the next day. Hopefully they catch this sumbitch soon ... and the start working on the rest of that list.

    I know what you mean...but you know? Those ARE the headlines here...in North America...right or wrong, they're North American "issues". Are there better North American issues? No doubt! Are there issues surrounding children in our own country? While there aren't any similar to those in Uganda, they do exist...and...oddly enough...some of those issues tie in to the Sandra Fluke thread and the whole birth control issue here in America.

    There are 53 nations within the continent of Africa...yet only now...after over 20 years of this guy doing what he does over there, has light been shed to our country. The gentleman that did the film...he used the "8 year" timeline and that stuck with me, along with our current President's signature . His son looked to be 4 or 5 years old at least...and this Kony guy has been at it for over 2 decades...yet the film maker only just now...right now...makes this momentous gesture through social media to stop a guy that should have been on the radar (of those other 52 nations on THAT continent) much longer than 2005 when he made this "worldwide" list.

    This subject runs way deep...
