Oh, I agree it is our business, as long as there is no reasonable belief that we would or could actually do anything about it.
This way we can be excoriated for being moral monsters for not getting involved in Uganda, but we can also be lambasted as being moral monsters for getting involved in Afghanistan. I guarantee you that as soon as the US military started doing to the LRA what we've been doing to the Taliban, the Youtube videos would sing a different song. Cue "sad faced African child soldier freedom fighter made an orphan by US Imperialism macro."
