I knew, vaguely, of the brutal behaviour of 'rebels' in Central Africa, but why had I not hear of the Invisible Children until very recently?

Why and how could the world look on and allow this to happen? Why and how has it not been screamed from every rooftop in the world? Are we so blase as a species that things like this are not significant enough for us to care about and stop?

If you don't know what I'm rambling on about, either google Ugandas invisible children or watch the youtube video for Joseph Kony. Beware - it's quite harrowing. But it should be compulsory for every single person in the whole world to watch it. Apologies if its been highlighted previously on here, but if it has I've missed it. It certainly puts life into perspective.
