The corporations that get the contracts are the ones who offer the best deal and grease the most palms. The only thing keeping corporations out of Uganda is their own personal interest. While certainly the US could level the whole place and then hand out no-bid contracts to companies in favour with members of the administration, there's not a lot in it for the elected officials involved in that.

And, again, how will blowing up some patches of jungle help in any way secure footholds for corporations which are otherwise shut out by competitors? Or are you suggesting the USA topple the entire Ugandan regime and commence to nation building there?

I'm as cynical as the next far-left democratic socialist, but even I wouldn't expect the US to make a habit out of bombing countries and then having their friends rebuild them. It's just not something that is sustainable, by either their politicians or, as the recent instance of a US soldier murdering a fuckload of civilians including children in Afghanistan shows, or their military.

This Kony thing is horseshit. It's ignorant or naive or self-serving assholes who want to save the world drumming up a bullshit scheme to do just that. The US government doesn't give a fuck in any real sense because there's nothing in it for them. They will do whatever will boost their numbers amongst their constituents, and at this point that means not waging war in yet another country which has nothing at all to do with the interests of Americans.
