Kony and Crew |
To his credit, Obama is reacting to a humanitarian need in this African nation. People are at the mercy of the merciless militant and people are dying. Children are recruited by Kony and made to kill their own parents--if they refuse, they are themselves, mutilated. This level of brutality is very similar to what eventuated in Iraq and Saddam Hussein (as in Barack's middle name, coincidentally, being he is non-Muslim unlikeSaddam). While the left kept screaming how W was Hitleresque, Obama is seen as more MLKesque. The unfortunate use of these types of comparisons, calling Bush a Hitler, diminishes the atrocities Hitler committed. It is a perverse, somewhat promiscuous use of language and I hope it stops.

So let's support Obama's decision with Uganda, but let's keep the pressure going, to get every sane person you know of voting age, to make him a one-term wonder. It makes you wonder why anyone ever voted for someone they never really knew.
