OT: A frontier too far |
A frontier too far

It survived Soviet occupation, civil war, the Taliban and US-led
invasion. But after 24 years of aid work, Médecins sans Frontières has
been forced by the American military to flee Afghanistan

Aid workers who remained in Afghanistan throughout the years of Soviet
occupation, tribal anarchy and Taliban 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 when the French organisation Médecins sans Frontières
(MSF) said independent humanitarian work could no longer be carried
out safely. MSF claimed the American military had endangered the lives
of humanitarian volunteers by blurring the distinction between
soldiers and aid workers. Five MSF workers were killed last month.

Yep. That 'compassionate conservatism' and 'morality injection' of
the American Taliban Nazi Regime strikes again.
