Kony 2012 Question

"Should HSC participate in Invisible Children's 'Paint the Night' initiative on April 20th to spread awareness about Kony 2012?"

I do not believe that HSC should part-take in the 'Paint the Night Black' event.  My main reason being that slacktivism doesn't do anything.  I watched as in one night, over 500 of my facebook friends changed their profile pictures to 'Kony 2012' and shared a short video about what their new change was about.  The total time taken to do complete this process was more or less 35 minutes.  So all the people that had so tirelessly changed their profile picture and watched a video now sat back and were content with their big accomplishment.  Instead of promoting this raising of awareness, the masses must assemble and realize that direct action is the only real solution to this problem.  Granted, this is a very idealistic thought, but a solution could be to package the idea of raising awareness and direct action into one big effort.  This being said, I do not feel that 'direct action' and 'direct intervention' are synonymous in this situation.  The only real way to solve this problem is to aid the nations who are directly effected by this problem, rather than policing them and doing it for them.  The reasoning behind this is simple: we do not know every intricate detail of the Kony situation.  There is so much more behind the issue that slacktivists do not know about, so it would be unjust for nations like America to go into this country and, say, set up a military base.  Rather what should be done is provision of aid, food and arms to assist the effected nations have their own uprising, solving the problem absolutely instead of putting a band-aid on it temporarily.
