Kony 2012 and the Failed Fantasy of Fire Power in Libya, Syria, Uganda...
In her most recent Huffington Post article, Lisa provides a look at how the West can work towards ending
civilian suffering in Syria, Uganda, and elsewhere and why it is important to so without supporting a military intervention.
"The fantasy of firepower rests on a faulty assumption that 'evil' resides in a group of people that need to be killed in order to restore peace. A realist understands the civil wars in Libya, Syria and Uganda are far more complex than killing some 'bad guys.' Like pouring toxic chemicals into an oil spill, the solution of pouring weapons into a civil war just doubles the agony for civilians and prolongs instability."
