It's amazing, the atrocities committed on this planet. To see children with scars from machetes; a child barely old enough to walk with fingers missing; a three year old girl with her arms cut off; tens of thousands of women and girls brutally raped.

The things people do to each other is a constant source of amazement. I think Angelina Jolie was right to ask why nothing is being done about this lunacy. Why do we tolerate these monsters? Why is there continued tolerance for people like Joseph Kony? This person, I will not stoop so far as to call him human, goes from village to village, kidnapping children and brainwashing them to fight for his Lord's Resistance Army. How telling that he thinks he's doing what god told him to do. Why has this monster been allowed to continue for decades? Why is there no international outcry to put a stop to this, immediately?

I wish I knew. Perhaps, now that this has been aired again on CNN, the resultant scrutiny will bring about much needed changes.

We can all hope.
