Thank you for the response Saydrah, it's nice to know that you're really a libertarian ;-p
It's not an easy issue and like most things worth while, there isn't an easy fix. I wouldn't be surprised if these video's did have something to do with the US's impetus to go after Kony. You mention supporting a "child" in Uganda. Since you seem to have some knowledge in this area, do you know of a reputable program for such things? I'm definitely interested.

Found this comment on Youtube about Invisible Children "Actually, the rest of the money is being put back into the company. Paying for lawyers, accountants, advertising, etc. That 30% is well over $2 million. They aren't pocketing the rest, they are re-investing it so that the 30% can go from $2+ million to maybe even $10+ million! When they first started out that 30% was maybe 500K! There are a lot more expenses to running a charity that you might think. Probably as much as running a business!"
