The US sends troops to fight the Lord’s Resistance Army with Uganda: What’s at Stake? (Please, read the article before commenting if you don't know a thing about Uganda's situation.)

Yeah, I'm glad some people are waking up and all, but I live in a poor Third World Country that is still dealing with the consequences of the Condor Operation, so.

Yeah, I don't give a damn if this makes people mad because frankly. Gah.

This will end badly for so many, won't it?

[la_vie_noire]

I don't know, given the current situation, I don't think it will end any different, which means... yes, the continuing deaths of people.

[timeasmymeasure]

Very fair point.

I had no idea about the UN sending people in. I started reading up on it a little and a few years ago about 80 Guatemalan special forces (u.s.-trained) died fighting the LRA.

someone posted that uganda has oil

why would your post make readers mad (I mean at you/the poster, not the US govt)?

Considering how well Joseph Kony has evaded capture for over twenty years, it's doubtful that U.S. assistance will be able to bring him to justice. If anything, the future will only see more Ugandans killed and harmed, more children kidnapped and abused, and a LRA galvanized against a deeply-unpopular foreign invader. (After all, how have U.S. alliances with oppressive dictators always turned out?)

I'm so disgusted in the shape Barack Obama's foreign policy has taken. He's barely any different from George W. Bush -- and he received the Nobel Peace Prize, to boot.
