in a recent column, michael gerson wisely exhorts the US and other nations to wake up to the horrors of joseph kony and his “lord’s resistance army” and take action to stop this madman in his tracks to prevent further tragedy–in the lives of women forced to become sex slaves, and for young boys captured and brainwashed to become child soldier-ideologues of kony’s twisted view of himself and reality. gerson puts it well:
Kony has a messiah complex…but he is a messiah in reverse, who sheds his humanity instead of assuming it.
let’s continue to pray for stability in the region, and for kony’s efforts to be thwarted so that justice and peace can begin to reign in the land.
