Wrong. It is not 'propping up a regime' to give food aid to save people from starvation, for the simple reason that regimes this brutal can survive the starvation of their people with impunity. For examples, look to USSR in the 1930s (Ukrainian famine), China in the 1950s, etc.
The one thing we should insist on is that this food aid goes directly to the people, and not end up like Saddam's 'oil-for-palaces' program.

Only a fool would believe it would get to the people. It is treason.

You'll not convince the fools here on FR who like to go around calling Bush a traitor.
