    Maybe the problem stems more from your arrogance - moral and otherwise.
    The U.S. military is not dropping food to alleviate suffering in Afghanistan. It is dropping food to shut up pampered self-righteous idiots in the West.
    The U.S. is fighting a war it wishes to win quickly in Afghanistan. If the Taliban can hold out one hour longer because of food they might be pilfering from the Red Cross - bomb the food. This is a war and things are uncertain, better safe than sorry.
    People are dying every day on the ground, on both sides, and too many will die because of the war prolonging "good" intentions of people like you.
    Wake up....

    The US harboured terrorists for 4 years before said terrorists blew up the WTC.

    The US Government sponsers terrorism directly. The fact is that the CIA is widely accepted as a filthy group of killers... the world over. They topple governments, assassinate people and did some fucked up shit during the coldwar. The US Ambassador to the UN, John Negroponte, is a terrorist.

    You even have your own dirty little terrorist training ground, colourfully called theSchool of America.

    Anyone else interested in the machinations of the US Government and its hypocrasy may also like to read this: A wonderfull plan, on how the Government could 'get away' with starting a war with Cuba - very interesting stuff...

    Kettle this is pot, Pot, Kettle.

    I did a few web searches and found nothing about the Red Cross bombing being intentional. If it's true, back it up.
