The article addressed Fallujah, and I addressed Fallujah.

I am aware of what has taken place in Asia. I'm not happy about it.

Our options are to provide as much help to the victims as we can and leave, or land massive forces there and start a new front.

I believe it would be wiser at this time to forgoe opening up a new front in southern Asia.

We should provide as much direct help to people as we can, and regulate the disbursement of cash to the region in a manor that would prevent as much of the funds as possible, from reaching subversive elements.

I'd apply this to public AND private funds. Relief agencies would just have to buck up and accept the interference. I would never have turned a dime over to the U.N. to disburse. That goes for tangible supplies as well.
