warrrreagl, I'm not sure that you could tell from the article, but upon reading it a second time, it's clear that it's not a band of purist Americans that is trying to induce change.
these girls' doctors - in their own villages - are recommending a stop to the practice. It is a health concern: inability to create breast milk, loss of breast, and breast cancer are dangerous problems.
What is the harm in wealthy Americans choosing to fund a campaign that interests them? Should it make a difference that it's in another country? I don't see a problem with it. Their resources; their choice. As a country, we're not declaring war on Camaroon over their female genitalia mutilation or breast ironing.
