If your quest was truly logic and reason. Then you wouldn't dodge direct questions which challenge your philosophical reasoning.

Ok, tell us how our being there is going to cause or has caused these "millions" to starve as you suggest.

I was well into a response when our power went out instantaneously (It happens up here quite a bit). Everything I wrote was lost, but I'll do my best to reconstruct.

My belief as a Christian is that the 40,000 rations will multiply like the loaves and fishes Christ served to the multitude. Let me introduce you to the possibility:
14:15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 14:16But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 14:17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 14:18He said, Bring them hither to me. 14:19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 14:20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 14:21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

I failed my Christian walk and ask forgiveness for calling you a complete idiot, even though you have some question in the matter yourself. Maybe I am an idiot

Your views are so repugnant and based on such faulty logic that I over-reacted to them. Quite frankly, I'm not all that sorry about it.

The people of Afghanistan will prosper by the grace of God and the policies being pursued by President George W. Bush, not because of any peacenik philosophy of yours. Lord help them if any of your ideas take root.
