What are peoples' opinions on intervention in Uganda against the Lord's Resistance Army?

The LRA might be theocratic butchers, but the real motive is oil.

I'm in principle always against foreign intervention, if only because the intervener indeed almost always haves ulterior, less than humanitarian motives. But the lra does have a trackrecord that makes the taliban look sane, moderate and respectfull for human rights. So Yeah, I actually almost would find it a relieve if someone, anyone, would rid the world of those psychopats even if that involves some US assistance.
The lra is just so unbelievably horrific... though choice, glad my opinion doesn't matter

Good to see more pro-imperialist "attitudes" from fellow Revlefters.:thumbup1:
The LRA problem won't be solved by American troops intervening,that much is sure.Hell,things will most likely get even worse.
Also:Afghanistan.

I wouldn't say Psycho's stance is pro-imperialism at all. Did you not read he/she 's comment or are you purposely ignoring the majority of what was said?

How about giving your thoughts without first trying to demonize and falsely label others giving their thoughts.
