My $0.02 on the "Kony 2012" phenomenon

[the_archfiend]

IMHO, things like Kony 2012 can't hurt if they draw needed attention to the atrocities committed by murderous nutcases like Kony and the LRA, but what I want to know is this: where were these people, in, say, 2005 when the International Criminal Court first indicted him? Even I knew about him as long as over three years ago despite a dearth of mainstream US media attention at the time, and there's no telling where he is right now.
