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

These kids probably aren't Pashtuns, but rather Tajiks or Uzbeks, even closer to the caucasion norm, maybe closer even than northern Germans or Scandinavians. Maybe about the same "distance" but in a different direction.
We Americans are good as well as tough.
We are merciful as we are fierce.
Any deity you can name would take notice of our feeding these children. We did not have to, we chose to do so.
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.
LOL just like I'm now racist because I pointed out the false arguement this person has put forth: That basically all Afghan children are muslims and that means they all hate Americans and therefore want to kill us.
This inane supposition was applied by utilizing this person's big deal about us not feeding African or Mexican children or personally that most of us don't actually go to these countries on missions.
So I simply stated there falsehood supposition that perhaps working with African children could mean that she is working with muslims or working with Mexican children could mean she is working with future drug dealers.
She conjectures I'm a racist because of my comment about Mexican children. LOL hmmm wonder about those neices and nephew of mine. Poor kids having such a racist aunt.
More nasty spewing.
RN/Ali/Jude is rapidly deteriorating.(look it up, RAJ - Webster's, W-E-B-S-T-E-R'-S is the preferred American dictionary, or change colleges as I have previously recommended.) He/she/it is starting to MELT under the barrage of logic thrust his/her/its way with relentless precision.
Let's try one more surgical strike.
Hi RAJ, Good thing that lsucat at least knew how to spell adorable!
LSU, ignore the troll and enjoy your boys. They will have a good life, because of you and your husband.
This stuff is pretty much like MREs and you want to take away the salt and pepper? Besides you need salt, although the food probably has enough in it already. I'd have added a salsa packet, just to make the glop more edible. Might not have been so bad if they could have selected something with meat in it, but then the Taliwhackers would just say the "mystery meat" was pork, even if was really beef, chicken, lamb, goat or camel. (Can you even eat Camel meat?, I've had all the rest)
I did get tickled at Rush's story about the Afghan woman who took a bite of a PNJ sandwich and didn't like it so she fed it to her donkey.
What's up with PNJ??? LOL from one who ain't such a fan of PNJ either. ;)
Oh, you're so right. I'm slapping myself right now. Guess I'm just not a REAL Christian after all. Goldang. If I'd have known that I wouldn't have ruined that Sunday outfit by wading in the river.
As for a "just" war, I absolutely believe in that concept. I also believe that you can show common humanity to the noncombatants in said just war.
Ergo, bomb the He!! out of the Taliban fascists, but drop food to the children.
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.
Notice where your Christian charity began...and who first raised Native Americans
********************************************************** HLL it is more frightening to me that a person who is an RN and a Christian has so little compassion for Afghan children. It really doesn't matter if their stomachs aren't as bloated as African children. It really doesn't matter the religion or country of birth. It does matter that Christ holds all children in His loving hands. 228 posted on 10/25/01 3:57 PM Pacific by nancetc ***************************************************
I guess a some nurses were trained with an air of arrogance not compassion. I guess some Christians are in name only not in acts. I guess some people are really sad for their heart is fenced in by walls so thick and tall that nothing will bring it to humility and human kindness. I don't feel sorry for people like you ... as I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
I do feel empathy for that is the Christ-like action that the New Testament teaches me. 232 posted on 10/25/01 4:00 PM Pacific by nancetc ***************************************************
American Indians were considered savages by fine Christians...amazing those Indians who lived in tents bathed more frequently then those ole' Christians and took care of their children with love and devotion from the whole family.

You are such an arse...LIBERAL LIKE ME. ROFL...I've never voted anything but straight conservative tickets since I was eligible to vote. I have donated only money to the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association...truly I believe in supporting these organizations.
I've been involved with emergency communications training when I was in Washington state. I've been a allied health care worker for 20 years...having attended graduate school at the very University that the young Christian women who were arrested by the Taliban attended. Where were you in the Pro-Bush rallies after the election in 2000? I was beside RaceBannon and other fine NewsMax.com, Freepers and conservatives at Hartford, CT and also across the street from Joe Liarman's house. So take your inane, mindless ramblings and try very hard to reconcile yourself to the Lord Jesus who HOLDS ALL GOD'S CREATURES ... Jews, Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, etc. in hands that have healed more than yours can offend. 253 posted on 10/25/01 4:30 PM Pacific by nancetc **************************************************************
To: RnMomof7 Well now...aren't we just so godly? So we worry about children in Africa...or Mexico. Where have you mentioned the children here at home? Where have you mentioned be the very "missionary" and ministering to those at home...can I show you to the Pima, Navaho, Hopi, Sioux or other reservations? Can I assist you in ministering through free healthcare clinics in the inner cities? You only exalt yourself...not God in your posts.

Notice that my post 267 is in answer to your 260..
Another nice touch, RAJ. I'm sure that LSUcat and hubby, as saturated as they are in their yuppie worlds of cell phones, designer dress and Hush Puppies (BTW, RAJ, you won't find that in Webster's - it's a shoe, not a potato) really looked for ways that they could enrich themselves by adopting a couple of homeless Vietnamese (Hint, RAJ, it's in Southeast Asia) boys.
Nice. Proving both your basic humanity and your "Christianity" at once. Let me be about the 1000th to call you a fraud.
No they are not Arabic, anymore than Persians or Indonesians are. From the CIA's world factbook, they are:
Ethnic groups: Pashtun 38%, Tajik 25%, Hazara 19%, minor ethnic groups (Aimaks, Turkmen, Baloch, and others) 12%, Uzbek 6%
Religions: Sunni Muslim 84%, Shi'a Muslim 15%, other 1%
No Arabs specifically mentioned.
