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

Well, their Daddies are dead and their Mommies can't come outside.

Their Mommas don't dance and their Daddies don't rock and roll.

The caption said they were in a refugee camp-- by definition, then, they've run far away from the Taleban. I'm glad to see them getting the food because I'm sure they need it, but I'm also quite certain that the international aid organizations have overblown the starvation to be expected this winter just to get us to stop the war. I agree that these kids don't look like the kids dying of starvation in Africa.

RnMomof7 says: ...and no I do not feed my enemy....

The Bible says: But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink... (Romans 12:20)

I felt I had to repeat myself for clarity. I will pray for you to seek the Lord and find COMPASSION.

Right back at you! We must pray, it seems, for a change in not only Muslim hearts, but some 'Christian' hearts as well.

I am so impressed with GW. I read a book by Marvin Olasky, Compassionate Conservatism, which explains a real Christian socio-political ideology. The Great Jacques Maritain called it Christian Humanism. GW is heavy into this. It really brings the gospel to the streets, so to speak.

What's short bread?

I think they should have skipped the salt, pepper, and moist towlette and put more food in there. At any rate it's nice to see my tax dollars going to something usefull. I hope this gets the message accross to the innocent Afghanis (and those Americans who clearly need the lesson): you are not our enemy.

Yeah, I thank the Good Lord each day that we have a real Christian President. He isn't perfect, but he seems wonderfully sincere and I pray he will always seek the Kingdom first. I will have to check out that Olasky book. Sounds like a good read. Keep praying!

You know God destroyed Sodom ,children and all....

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)?

Do you have children? Will they be put in harms way? Or do you sit in your lofty position feeling Holier than thou beacuse this doesnt really affect you YET?

Does God "Love "His enemies? These people are the enemy of God..How does God treat his enemies?

Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

Numbers 11:1 And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts of the camp.

Numbers25:5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

Numbers 31:16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. 31:17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 31:18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Deuteronomy - 2:34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

I do not "hate" these children..I do not believe it is wisdom to give aid and comfort to the enemy,and make no mistake,inspite of the stuff coming out of the US office of propaganda Islam is the emeny

The day they allow christians to come in with bible and food I will help them..but dont hold your breath because they would rather see their kids dead than infidel Jews or Christians

Shortbread is a Scottish cookie. Not too sweet; sort of like a thick graham cracker. I think the girlscouts sell them. Anyway, they're really good.

Here's a recipe.

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?

BTW ask Israel if the children are non combatants

So let GOD handle His enemies as He sees fit. You are a Christian. It is a Christian's job to have compassion and to love, feed, and pray for our enemies whether we like it or not. You will never find a place in God's Word that tells us to take His role into our hands. That you do not trust God to handle this situation using the governments He has divinely appointed is very sad. I will continue praying--for you AND the Afghanis.
