Yes there are a lot of causes out there, but you gotta start somewhere.

The power of collective individuals over the internet is going to be a new form of warfare, in a sense. I mean the internet is pretty much what exposed Egypt, and whats going on there. Now a days if you want to start a new political movement it gets exposed and started on the internet

Ok this guy named Kony kidnaps kids in africa and turns them into solders for his army. So the guy that made the video is getting the world to notice it and is trying to get the US gov. to step in and take him down. So he is baisicly trying to get the word out about this guy on facebook and by doing so, is getting the US to give more support to the africans so they can find him.

That's baisicly the summation of the story. Not as detailed of course, but you get the picture.

Actually, I feel they should arrest him instead of kill him. If you kill a person, they never get to think about what they did. If you arrest him and sentence him to life in prison, he gets plenty of time to think about what he did. People eventually change in prison. Maybe he will too! Not saying to ever let him out, but just for him to analyze what he has done and change.
