The UN World Food Program estimates that Afghanistan needs nearly 1,900 tons of food distributed every day. Since the attacks began about a month ago, the United Nations has increased shipments from around 770 tons a day to about more than 1,500 tons daily.

So since the bombing started, the Afghanis have been getting more food? So the churches are against this? The Blue Zone really kills me with their lack of logic. The Afghanis need 1,900 tons of food daily. The UN is sending 1,500 tons daily plus the food being dropped by the US. Where was the concern of the churches last year when the Afghanis were getting much less food and the Taliban was starving the people?

You don't suppose they care more about getting their names on a press release than the Afghanis do you? Frankly, I'm not all that concerned about the Afghanis myself, but I do care about the US military lives and civilian victims of terrorism that would be lost by allowing the Taliban to regroup, recruit, re-arm and plan new offensives.
