As I was watching it, like everyone else I was taken by the video, felt really bad for the kids (and still do, for those around the world that are forced to kill,beaten,raped,etc). I shared it, in support of making him famous.
But then I had a few doubts about the whole thing, like why specifically do they decide to bring this out NOW. When all this has been going on since 2008? I also hadn't seen anything in the paper or news. There are many other countries in need of help as well, but wonder why the U.S. picked Africa NOW? Iraq, Afganistan, Iran and many other countries have been invaded by the U.S. because they claim theyre going after "terrorists" and crap. wheres the proof for all this? Do we just follow it just because its coming from a famous or political figure?! The U.S. can't do anything without the support of YOU, because they need our tax dollars to fund their wars.
I'm positive that I'm not the only one who hadn't heard of his name, or even know who he is! so many other questions came in my mind and I came across some other interesting links:

I'm sure the people who are behind the Kony 2012 have good intentions and want to do the right thing, but I would always say, for anyone trying to help for causes such as this or any other donating causes, you should look well into it first. There are a lot of scams out there, and we never really know if those people in need are really being helped! So decide wisely, not just because its all over the internet and "everyone else is doing it too"!
Anyhow, decide for yourself I'm sure we all have good intentions to help those in need but just be careful about who and what you are really supporting.
