A group of Afghan children collect packets of food aid after an U.S. aircraft completed a night time air drop over a refugee camp in Kumkishlyak in Northern Afghanistan, October 25, 2001. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban on Thursday dismissed as U.S. propaganda a Pentagon statement that they intended to poison food dropped by U.S. aircraft or provided by humanitarian groups to Afghan civilians. The Pentagon said on Wendesday that it had received information the Taliban may poison the food supplies to Afghan civilians and blame the United States. REUTERS/Vasily Fedosenko

I didn't adopt my kids because they were nice accessories. Maybe that's why twisted people like you do things. So you worked in missions, so what? I took these kids home with me. They are in the next room. Is that ok with you? Is that socially acceptable? Go ahead and pat yourself on the back because you've been on missions. You are as cold-hearted they come.But "adorable" was important huh?

I asked:
Why don't you come right out with it? What exactly do you want to happen to non-combatant Afghans, children and all? What would make you happy (with regard to the Afghans--to narrow down the subject)? You replied: You must hate Harry Truman,not only didnt he do food drops on Japan he nuked the kids..of course the fact he saved American lives means nothing right?
I'll answer your question after you stop dodging, prevaricating, changing the subject and answer mine.

Don't forget the bean salad. They are deliberately not sending them any meat, to short ciruit the Tali-baners claiming it's pork. Taste's like (well you know) but you can live on it". Since at least some of the stuff was made in San Antonio, or nearby, they should have put a packet of salsa in there too. They'd probably like it, as long as they put in on the salad, crackers or bread, since it would't go to well with the jam or peanut butter (if there was any in the packet)

I'm sorry, how many kids have you adopted? I think I missed your answer the first time. It's easy to walk away from them when you leave all those "missions", isn't it?

Lacking logic or a cogent argument you revert to slander as humor***
Lacking knowledge of what "slander" means. Darn, didn't I already tell you to switch colleges, Ali?

One more attempt at the - well, the God of the OT slaughtered, therefore God is inhumane - spurious argument. A real Christian would understand the meaning of the New Testament, God's new covenant with mankind, sealed with the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. And a real Christian would know that Christ promised that God's Holy Spirit would live within us, and that He would be with us always. The remote God (of course the same one) of the mostly HISTORICAL recitations of the OT, changed His relationship with man through the sacrifice of His sinless Son, born of a virgin.A real Christian would know what God says about himself
Malachi -3:6For I [am] the LORD, I change not;
There is a tension in scripture..but war is never considered unjust killing..this is a war

I imagine you are the only mother I have ever encountered who would be surprised that another mother would find her own children adorable. That is very interesting. Do you expect me to say my kids are ugly? I know who's ugly, and it's not them!

An American aid worker,who went there to help there in now awaiting trial for her life,because she mentioned Jesus. This is war not a B grade feel good movie..
I suppose you'd have oppossed feeding South Korean orphans since other Koreans were doing the same sorts of things. It's the talliwackers that are holding that aid worker, not the Northern Alliance, who are better Muslims than the Taleban, and aren't afraid to tell them that either.

You only gave your bio because someone pointed out your constant reference to all the children of Africa or the garbage heaps of Mexico but never one statement until that was pointed out about the children here at home that are need. Try again...didn't work.
It's fine to point out that one doesn't like something that is being done. But you didn't stop at that point you tore at children who didn't bear the mark of starving that you deem to be starving.
You think anyone here doesn't believe the war shouldn't be prosecuted to it's fullest? You think all of us who don't share your narrow view about the provision of food to those who have fled their homeland because of the war...haven't lost someone or known someone who was killed in the attack on this country and our people on Sept. 11th?
I for one am frankly sick of the anti-American peaceniks...the media for the daily count of civilian losses that were more than likely people put in harms way by the Taliban...of the internal terrorism our media perpetuates on us daily with all these experts who only tell copy-cats and others how to send anthrax or distribute this, that and the other.
I have intense hate for those who killed my fellow citizens. I have intense hate for those who dare terrorize are citizens further through anthrax or any other means they might employ.
But not for a moment do I believe that we should write all children off...if so we would write off the African children (just maybe they are muslim too) or the Mexican children (oops maybe future drug dealers).

I have raised 7 children one handicapped and have oppened my home to children in need..you are not "holy" because you adopted you did that for yourself.Having many "connections " in the socialwork field I know healthy White babies are not available..So it is very nice that you adopted adorable Asian kids to build your family..but there are lots of black and handicapped American kids that need families too. And no one wants them
To: nancetc
Mexican children (oops maybe future drug dealers).Racist huh?
To: lsucat
She doesn't like Asians.I have an "adopted" Korean girl that lived all summer with me..want to try again?
To: RnMomof7
Yeah, whatever mom. You don't know what I did and did not do before I headed over to Vietnam. You are right. You are a saint. You are every bit the model Christian. I am done with you. Go wallow in your filth by yourself.

I am the enemy..please continue to feed my kids for me so I can continue to prepare the smallpox for yours..:>)***
Aww, Ali, that just isn't what nice Americans do. You gotta be a plant.
Let's revoke your student visa. After all, preparing smallpox isn't too bright - you will contaminate the entire world including your fellow Islamists- you won't just be killing the Great Satan.
Wait! Maybe my hypothesis is entirely wrong. Maybe you're not Ali Al Queda after all, but are actually Jude Skankster, a deluded EcoNazi, bent on the destruction of half of mankind so that Gaia can breathe freely without the parasite of human beings upon Her. THAT, fits with making smallpox.

RN to me:
Where have you or anyone here mentioned them? I contribute to the Navaho missions run by my church..but you never asked..I am saving to do a medical mission there next year. but see I dont need you to affirm me..BTW I worked in innercity clincs for 15 years...where do you work..or is it easier to send in your dollar? Post 267
RN to me: Excuse me..it is you that have been so self righteous..I never mentioned anything about my work or volunteer work till I was asked by you in a mocking non Christian toneand .. You were hoping to show me to be a hard hearted person..so I gave mt BIO.Post 286
LOL and then when I respond to your little deriding in Post 267 and give my bio as you say you did in Post 286 that's called bragging on my part.
You really are a confused person. May I suggest you keep up with your own posts and your attempts to cover your "bragging" by saying you were only providing a bio. Is that not all I did...provide a bio in response to your little posty? LOL about you.
