How can these things go on and on in the world? I’m not a military expert, but I would bet it’s not that hard to find this LRA guy’s “jungle hideout”. Heck, I can find a 7-11 in Kansas just using Google from my living room. Find the guy and drop a bomb on him. We waited 20 years to take out Saddam and it was a piece of cake once we finally decided to do it. The aftermath is a mess, but what I mean is, can’t the UN, NATO, all these organizations supposedly formed solely to ensure world peace, get their acts together and just kill these troublemakers?
“Peace process” is an oxymoron, it’s not a process and it never leads to peace. It’s pussyfooting and wishful thinking. Look at Israel and Gaza right now. We let Yassir Arafat sit pretty for decades, then idiot Bush decided the Pali’s deserve their own state and they are really noble democracy-lovers, so they have elections and vote in Hamas. So the same battles continue, half-hearted corrective measures by Israel, retaliation by Arab terrorists, for generations.
Look at these two-bit Somali pirates holding the world captive, countries with huge arsenals and diplomatic corps standing around helpless, the poor boat crews having to defend themselves weaponless or be taken prisoner.
As soon as someone starts calling for mass-murder and slaughtering civilians and children, there should be an organized int’l effort to simply eliminate him, not “bring him to trial for crimes against humanity” (I’m sure that really scares them). Top priority is stop the violence, not have trials, and we do that by eliminating the leaders. This would also have a deterrent effect.
We still haven’t caught Saddam’s Baathist Party head al Dhouri, who was the guy who carried out the Halabja chem weapons massacre and one of the financiers of al Qaeda in Iraq.
