RE: "Is it moral to force 2 MILLION innocent people into starvation and bitter cold winter so as to get to a few hundred criminals who killed 6000 innocent?"

The answer is NO! The question is, are we really doing this? Winter has not arrived yet and we, purportedly, are delivering food. Also, there are a few hundred criminals and, reportedly, 45,000 supporters who are complicit in the crime against us. These 45,000 happen to be the current rulers of Afghanistan.

RE: "Second, is it effective?"

I don't know and I am concerned that our military leaders don't know. I would guess that you don't know, also. The local political nuances involving Pakistan and Afghani groups are certainly beyond my grasp. Again, I must rely on our political leaders even though I am sick at the thought of who they are.
