#4 Is it our fault that these people who chose to support terrorists are going hungry ? Why should we have to help feed the enemy ? And why should we allow the enemy to come to our countries to live so that they can escape from the hell in which they have built around themselves... To me, they have no-one to blame for their problems but themselves. But sure enough, the West is also easy to take advantage of, to come here to live, and live freely in our awesome socities..

I appreciate the sentiments but I doubt you could find a 1,000 hungry Americans that would know what to do with wheat. Now if it was 700 tons of potatoe chips I'd agree completely.

#9 I see you've never heard of using flour as a "Dust Bomb".
You have an open can of flour, set a small explosive charge ubder it, set off the charge and "Dust" the house, then a second charge (Simply some kind of flame) and "Boom", no house.

You can't be serious! Most poor folks in the South know how to make Biscuits and Gravy, and both require wheat flour.

"I see you've never heard of using flour as a "Dust Bomb"."

You learn something new everyday! Thanks!

#16 anyone know if Tom Lantos' hold on the rest of the aid to Lebabon is still in effect?

Here's the latest on Lantos.

US Aid To Start Reaching Lebanon

The State Department announced Wednesday US assistance could start reaching Lebanon by next week. The delivery had been put into question after a high-ranking Congressmember announced this week he would ask the Bush administration to freeze its aid package to Lebanon. The congressmember, California Democrat Tom Lantos, said the freeze would last until the Lebanese government takes control of its borders and: “displays responsibility.” At a press conference in the United Arab Emirates, US Ambassador Michele Sison was asked how the US could reconcile sending aid to Lebanon after giving Israel most of the weaponry that attacked the country.

#17 Sison's answer:

US Ambassador to UAE Michele Sison: "I want to make very clear that of course America is making and has made a long term commitment to help the people of Lebanon. We believe that every person deserves to live in a free and open society and of course we have stated throughout, particularly during the the period of the crisis that we reject the killing of innocents to achieve a radical agenda and I am looking at Hizbollah as I speak to this."
