You're right. Which is also why the US bailed out Germany and Japan at the end of WW2, and why we, with the UN, tried to help Somalia in '93. In Somalia, we had to leave, because the government was killing the relief workers. When we've tried to send goods to the people of Afghanistan, the Taliban confiscate the goods or threaten to kill the people that are *trying to help the poor*. The terrorist pay the government (that no one recognizes), who keep the terrorists hidden. Notice how, now that pakistan has agreed to let the US use their air space and help look for bin Laden, Afghanistan is threatening to attack pakistan? That's because the Taliban knows that as soon as bin Laden is gone, they're gone too. And that's stupid, because all it will do is help the normal people of Afghanistan feed their families. It's not like the US sends more aid to other countries than any other country in the world. :P derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- coming to a cineplex near you --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
