Killing him is not the stated goal, although I would think that basically everybody is aware of the possibility of that outcome. The goal is to capture him and have him tried as a war criminal. (Is everyone discussing this video/movement sure that they have actually watched the video?)

I'm sure that I am misunderstanding you here (bold print), but shouldn't saving children from sex slavery and forced involvement as soldiers be enough reason? Even beyond saving children, shouldn't he be held to account for the crimes already committed that he is the most responsible for?

I really don't think that IC or anyone else is arguing that killing Kony is a magic bullet for peace (although with tens of millions of people discussing it there is bound to be plenty of strange arguments).

Even if Kony's capture does not ensure peace for Uganda, isn't it worth pursuing? What about the people being terrorized by the LRA in the Democratic Republic of the Congo now?
