Kony Video

It is a huge hit on the internet.  It is being circulated among college students.  It is an easy and safe issue that Americans can easily identify with and feel good about their own sympathy and concern.  Of course, there are horrific outrages committed by US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan that should be "hits" among US college students but those would not be "feed good, Americans" kind of videos.  There should be a video of what US occupation troops did in Fallujah: this was one of the most savage war crimes there is.  But I doubt it will be famous on American internet.  Oh, and can we have videos on when US drones kill women and children in Afghanistan?
