Folks,

Maybe it is time for us to send our aircraft over Afghanistan, in masse.
Open the bomb bay doors, let 'em drop down like never seen before.
Carpet-bombing, if you will.

However, the payload I am suggesting is not conventional explosives, nor
nuclear arsenal. No, I think we can hit 'em with the biggest weapons of
persuasion America can muster up.

Food.

As you may know, the people of Afghanistan are already starving, with food
supplies running out, and winter just weeks away. Their once-proud are
cities already in ruins, and most citizens are already refugees.
The majority of Afghan people are said to oppose the Taliban, (wouldn't
you?), and Osama bin Laden as well. He is merely using Afghanistan and her
people to hide while he masterminds his evil. And the Taliban are no picnic,
either.

Desperately lacking for food and clothing and shelter, they are powerless to
resist the Taliban and bin Laden.
So, why not enlist the aid of a million peoples, who are the most familiar
with the geography of the land, and who would exalt at the chance to regain
their destiny?

What say, maybe there is a way to rid the world of two oppressors at once,
help the Afghans regain their country, and curry a favorable world opinion
at the same time.

This would probably cost less than a war, and a whole lot less bloodshed,
too.

What think, worth consideration? What is the next step to make this a
reality?
