Stardate 20011112.2059 (Crew, this is the Captain): If, indeed, Kabul has fallen and resistance can be eliminated in the next few days, and if the road east to Pakistan can be made secure, then we will be facing a supreme irony. Recall that nearly every international aid agency involved in trying to feed the people of Kabul begged or "called for" or demanded a bombing halt so that food supplies might be moved in? The irony is that it may turn out that the starving people of Kabul were best served by
stepping up the bombing.
(discuss)Another irony is that it seems Allah fights on the side who has air supremacy. (Funny thing about that.)
