re: #253 Obdicut

The piece discusses their goals and asks a pertinent question: what next? This also pretty much depends on the actual state of things. Is there a multi-thousand army still ravaging large territories, as IC’s film implies, or are there just hundreds of them? If the latter, then the US action seems to be more than sufficient to deal with them, and there is no hint of cancellation.

I actually don’t see capturing Kony and bringing him to justice as a necessary practical goal. Kill him with a drone or by SEALs - it’s just as good. Worked with Awlaki and Osama. I don’t foresee a trial of Kony as some great teaching moment, those just don’t seem to happen nowadays (see trials of Serbian and Albanian war criminals).
