<<I guess you won't be satisfied until you have color video footage of an 
Afghani child being blown up while racing after one of those inedible food 
packets in a minefield. >>

The issue isn't satisfaction, rather accuracy.  And you're providing Kurt the 
same answer I provided him, which is that you have no such information.

If/when such a thing happens--it may--consider yourself prophetic or sage or 
commonsensisical or whatever.  In the meantime, since you claim to have this 
array of facts at your fingertips, you should stick to them.  In the end, you 
might find that that's more persuasive than your purple prose, over-heated 
rhetoric, and the loss of credibility resultant from your high-handed mixing 
of fact and opinion.  It would be to me, at any rate.
