I guess Steve and I weren't the only ones to think about dropping food and medicine on Afghanistan instead of bombs. Still, I know it won't happen. Plus, it wouldn't necessarily work. Still, if we are in a struggle with a trickster like enemy it seems very foolish to react the way we are expected to react. Or maybe people don't know much about trickster spirits.
The US government is full of trickster spirits (CIA, Special Forces, Navy Seals etc.)
And I wager that some of these folks would love to run food and supplies to the Afgans.
I think it's the political branch of government who are ignorant of and or stifle the trickster power.
(despite the profusion of clowns)
I wouldn't be in favor of this as a clandestine activity.
Well, the CIA runs clandestine, covert and overt operations. I don't see how this could be done by clandestine means, nor covert for that matter but I'm no expert.
Sorry, I don't know the correct terms. I just want it to be out in the open. Done by the regular military.
Right, I think i agree.
