HEY UN, WHERE YA BEEN?

This makes me absolutely sick!
For nearly two decades, northern Uganda has faced the terror of an army of child predators. The children live in a wilderness of towering elephant grass and attack at night. They have been known to attack villages -- killing all but the children between 6 and 15, whom they take away.
We've heard snippets about this in the news, but not nearly enough has been reported, or done to stop it.
All five recently were charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, an indictment backed by the Bush administration. It also backs "peace talks" between the LRA and the Ugandan government, which began in the southern Sudanese city of Juba earlier this month with the apparent aim of persuading Kony to retire, go into exile, or both.
How do you persuade a lunatic to quietly go away? One bullet, back of the head, problem solved!
An estimated 1,000 children die each month at the more than 200 refugee camps in northern Uganda, mainly from malaria, malnutrition and diseases spread through poor sanitation.
In a land of plenty, it's hard to even imagine a child dying from malnutrition, but it happens daily, even though we are the most generous nation on the planet. And it happens because of the lunatics of the world, NOT because the people in this country care more about oil. That's just plain bull manure.
During the drive, someone commented that Jennifer, 15, had been lucky because she escaped after two days.
"Those two days will be 10 years in my life," Jennifer replied. "I was forced to beat someone to death, to bite off their skin. I'll never forget spitting out the flesh and blood."
She said she will never be able to eat meat again.
"I also participated in killing somebody," said Tony, 16. "That is the first thing they make you do [after being kidnapped], to remove the fear."
"I had to bite someone to death, too, and it was more than once," Sam added.
If I hear one more left wing nutjob spouting "It's for the children!" one more time, I might lose it! How about doing something for THESE children, and leave ours alone!
