He's accomplishing making the issue more visible.
Like it or not, our society as a whole seems to care about things more when it's popular to care about them. For example, see Kony 2012.
I have nothing against George Clooney making this issue more visible. There are certainly worse things that he could do with his time.
I don't disagree. And I think raising our collective consciousness on that horror is actually a good thing.
But my point is: what does he propose we do?
What are WE willing to say we should do?
It's not time to send in our troops, right?
We aren't the world's policeman, right?
SO other than making us SEE the horror, I'd like to know what the proposed next meaningful move is.
What are we raising consciousness to DO?
(I harbor zero animosity towards Mr. Clooney. To me he seems like a pretty decent human being.)
You know, I don't know.
I don't have an answer as to what we SHOULD do. I don't think George Clooney does either.
