So why doesn't the UN change the color of the packets if they are concerned? I mean when he realised that the two things were the same color it doesn't seem that big a leap to change the color of the food packets. Good question! But the UN wasn't dropping the food aid. It was the US. "Embarrassingly, the bombs' yellow casing means that from a distance they are hard to distinguish from the emergency food parcels wrapped in yellow plastic that US planes have been dropping over the last few weeks." news.bbc.co.uk Cluster bombs and food packets both in yellow plastic and both distributed by the US. Pretty funny. It's a knee slapper. Maybe you'll answer my question now. Have the Israelis confused any Katyusha rockets with food packets? jttmab P.S. How the hell did you miss that story during the Afghanistan adventure? Were you living under a rock back then?
