<HTML>From the article...
"The food packets were mainly dropped in the central highlands and along the Pakistan border, both areas with suspected mines. We have to ask if the Americans are aware of the situation on the ground."
"suspected mines". Operative word: "suspected". Not guaranteed. Not documented. Only suspected.
This is armchair quarterbacking at its finest.
At WORST, there's probably a 50/50 chance that a foodpacket landed on a mine... that's if 50% of the land had mines under it.
Well, the way I see it, there's a 100% chance that these people are going to die WITHOUT the food and medicine.
Which would you rather us do? Let them die?
If it were my life, I'd be taking the 50/50 odds.
Again, stop complaining about imperfect methodology. You want perfection? Ask God to deliver the food. Until then, even the article clearly states that this is the "last resort" preferred by the aid workers... but they did NOT rule it out.
Why hold up America's efforts at humanitarianism as some kind of condemnation?
You people really just don't get reality, do you....
