That article in the New York Times Tells that former children soldiers are now being used to hunt down their former leader, Joseph Kony, in the heart of Africa. I would agree with this stand of using former kid soldiers to hunt their leader because who knows their leader most but those closest to him. I think why most of these former rebel recruits stayed in the army because they want Kony to be stopped once and for all. I agree with the article that these people know one thing to do is warfare. It is sad to see children wiped of their innocence and used as soldiers and still being used as soldiers when they are adults. It is also sickening that the American people didn't help with this conflict earlier but i do think why the U.S.A. didn't want to get invovled with armed intervention. One reason is that the countries of Uganda and Sudan are sovereign nations and can handle things on their own. Also Their was no political gain if the U.S.A. went to help out the government there to quell the rebellion. Another reason may be because of the Black Hawk down incident and the U.S.A. didn't want to start a war in Africa.

The Problems of Russia
Even though Russia has a lot of political power and supremacy, the nation is facing deep troubles. Trafficking of persons is one issue in Russia. Many beautiful girls get kidnapped and get sold for sex. They are also old as amil in brides to whoever wants them. These women are treated with no respect to their human dignity. Also there is a lot of drug dealing in Russia with cocaine and heroine. The cause of this is the russian mafia. The biggest problem economically is that there is widespread inflation of the Ruble cuased by th economic crisis.
