Another thread in FR contains a copy of a report by the United States Agency for International Development which shows that in fiscal year 2001, prior to 9/11, the U.S committed $173,000,000 in humanitarian financial aid to Afghanistan alone. That item in itself blows a hole in Murray's argument, and I forwarded it to Joni Balter, who was probably the author of the the unsigned Times editorial.
