The former NRA, who Kony is fighting, has used landmines against civilian targets, recruited kids and took power through military means... which was also done by the guys before them and the guys before them.
Anyone feel that Uganda is pretty much a pool of primitive violence?
Seriously, they've been ruled by one guy since the 80s. So if you went in there with the full backing of the UN (sans the restrictions on using force) and told them that they're going to become democratic, would even the current regime want to play nice?
Keep in mind that I expect nothing from the UN or NATO. I'm sure the Hutu can give anyone a harsh lesson in history.
