If I understand correctly, the Afghan civilians are burning the food we are dropping to try and help them. They are supposedly a mouse's breath away from famine, yet burn humanintarian aid. Further, they have had every opportunity of rising against these madmen in the Taliban, and have chosen not to do so. Since they are burning our gifts of food, obviously they are not as hungry as we are being led to believe. Even if they are burning it on principle, that implies that they are with the Taliban in spirit. That being the case, they are not without guilt.

Sorry gang, but when WWII started, we didn't immediately start airdropping food and assistance to the "poor Japanese and oppressed Germans" who "had no choice" in regards to the government that led them. We defeated the armies of the enemies and then worried about aiding the civilian populations.

Note to Liberals: The Marshall Plan can only go into effect *AFTER* the war is won, not before. Please make a note of it.
