Should we really be trying to hunt down Kony of Invisible Children fame? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson argue that we should not because:

• The Colombian Civil War demonstrates that if you kill one ‘bad-guy’ then another will come along to take their place.
• The international community should want to not only remove the current Kony, but eliminate the possibility of any future Konys rising up.
• This requires understanding the complex history of Uganda and its politics.
