To explain my comment more clearly, the makers of Kony 2012 seemed to be asking us to take a stance without actually taking into account what the people of North Uganda might be wanting, or what their stance might be on the whole matter. Inviting what America thinks is best rather than what Uganda thinks is best is dangerous.
Granted, Uganda is in a dangerous state, and, as you say, there is no straight answer. There isn't a sole power there - there are two, and it teeters on a precipice. However, inviting a third power in is, in my opinion at least, not a good way to resolve the issue, and Kony 2012 does not address this fact, nor does it actually seem to care in the slightest about what Uganda might want for it's people. It only seems to care about what America wants for Uganda's people.
