Humanitarian aid in the 21st century

When I was growing up, humanitarian aid was The Red Cross and certain agencies and churches delivering Thanksgiving and Christmas groceries to the home of widow Hester and her five children. Now it means killing people to save them:

- (Rebels of Libya) We want help! We need help! Help!!

- (NATO) Alright already! We hear you..... and we vill help you.

- Praise Allah!

- There will be collateral damages, you know.

-What’s that?

-Some people may be..... accidentally killed.

-That’s OK. When you comin’?

-Some members of your own family may be.... accidentally killed.

-That’s OK. When you comin’?

-There may also be slight damages to your...... infrastructure.

-Infrastructure? That’s OK, that’s OK. When you comin’?

-Let me see now. Hold on a minute. (Mumble: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan) I see by my calendar we can start our humanitarian aid in your country..... in three days.

-That’s OK. When you comin’?

As always,
