Interesting history, but what do we do about it? Right now we are bombarding Afghanistan with food rations, and that is quite good and original, but gosh, we are stopping half way. The packages themselves contains some parts that a typical Afghan would not know what to do with. Well, they'll learn fast enough. But, why is the message of peace and friendship on the package in English, why not Arabic or Pushtu, or Uzbek, wherever it is dropped. I would have one side the reason for our attack (like picture of the great catastrophe brought on innocent people for nothing they have done), and then explanation how these acts are diametrically opposite to the Kuran's dictum. I would even make sure that we have at least 20 different messages (local collectors may want to collect a "full series"?), developing an advertising message as continuation in parts. Sending wheat, rice, dry beans (very nutritious) and sugar instead of peanut butter would be better as well.
