remind me again how we've made people's lives better in afghanistan by invading?


New Zealand News - World - Aid workers prepare to flee Afghanistan:


Aid workers who remained in Afghanistan throughout the years of Soviet occupation, tribal anarchy and Taleban rule are preparing to flee the country because US military tactics have made it too dangerous to operate there.

A grim shadow was cast over the future of all aid missions to Afghanistan as the French organisation Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) said independent humanitarian work could no longer be safely carried out.

MSF claimed that the US military had endangered the lives of humanitarian volunteers by blurring the distinction between soldiers and aid workers. Five MSF workers were killed last month.
