20 April 2012 sees the next stage in the campaign to have Joseph Kony of Uganda arrested. Campaigners are going to plaster many American cities with posters on 20 April 2012, all trying to draw attention to their campaign to have the leader of the Lords resistance army brought to justice. There are some critics of the campaign, saying that the video glosses over many important things, and does not detail how impossibly difficult the terrain where he hides and operates from is, but I think that anything that helps to draw attention to dictators and tyrants around the world is very important and there is no doubt, in this age of the Internet, where reputations can be destroyed in a few days, if not hours, and that dictators all over the world in particular have to look out. While rulers of countries can sometimes block Internet access to areas, it is becoming harder and harder to do that with satellite technology, and they are all eventually going to pay the price.

It is tremendously sad that there seems to be some type of power disease that afflicts elderly men, once they become a president of a country and that they have to go on and on, clinging to power or trying every trick in the book, like Putin, to be re-elected and to have another 12 years in power. It really becomes embarrassing for the country, and clearly, as you can even see with the Russian people, it is not something that they want. New ideas and new concepts don’t come about when you have the same person leading one country for 24 years as Putin plans in Russia.
