From MSNBC/Newsweek:
Good job. Write it in English. Way to make them think we care. And that much aid will feed 1200 people for one month. How many millions of people need to be fed until... when? They tossed them from 30,000 feet, across the county? I wonder what percentage of that food will be found.
"We knew it was coming but I guess we were still hoping it wouldn't," said a vegetable dealer, closing up his stand.
Yeah, us too.
Food, medicine and supplies were dropped into Afghanistan, mainly in areas where thousands of refugees have fled in anticipation of the attacks. C-17s flying at about 30,000 feet tossed out 37,500 daily rations across the country. Each ration was a thick yellow plastic packet reading, in English, humanitarian daily rations, food gift from the people of the United States of America. Each contained beans, potatoes, biscuits, shortbread, strawberry jam, peanut butter, a fruit bar and pastries, along with yellow book matches stamped USA on the cover. Bush, in his televised speech from the White House Treaty Room, was plain-spoken about the purpose of the tactic. The United States of America is friend to the Afghan people, and at the same time is a friend to more than a billion Muslims worldwide, he said.
