“The LRA are the bad guys. They take children and force them to become soldiers.”
And how is that of even the slightest American interest?

Are we now to be responsible for the eradication of all "bad guys" on the face of the planet? Is the U.S. foreign policy now to bring the annihilation of all evil everywhere? If so, why not start here? Or on our southern border? Why, indeed go farther than Pennsylvania Avenue?
THIS is in America's National Security Interest? How so? Because Obama says so?
This is to further acclimate Congress and the American populace to the unilateral commitment of military personal to perform Ear Leader's personal whim. No more, no less.
