Rooting out the evil's of the world has been the responsibility of good men since time out of mind. It is an endless and eternal struggle.
Personally I am torn about this viral experiment. On one hand, removing the world's Terrible Evil's can't be such a bad thing. The Human Race can and should take responsibility for taking the bad seeds out of the equation so that everyone the world over should enjoy personal freedom and liberties. That's a wonderful and beautiful idea.
But on the other, Kony is simply a symbol of the world's Evil. A reminder that it exists in this world and will continue to exist well after he is removed from power.
I believe good cannot exist without evil. In very much the same way light cannot exist without dark; if one were to exist without the other we would never had the privilege experiencing the difference. And perhaps most importantly, one derives purpose from the other. If the Kony's/Hitler's/Etc., of the world had never existed we might not ever have appreciated what we have in front of us to begin with.
