Please don't feel that I am stating any opinion one way or the other on the original post. I wouldn't touch that with at ten foot pole. I do however disagree with the idea that the U.S is responsable for the Taliban's and Russia's starving of Afghanistan.

Yes, all Afganistan's neighbors( Iran, Pakistan, Russia, I know there is others, but my atlas out of reach) have totally closed their borders, although Russia is considering humanitarian airlifts and have opened their airspace for the same. I blame any and every decent person who would let that many people possibly starve and do or say nothing. Also- If the military build-up hasn't caused the borders to remain closed, then what has?
