  Hopefully they find her safe, it's a shame Aid workers get caught up in politics.

    "it's a shame Aid workers get caught up in politics."

    (SIGH....)

    Once again, people meddling where they SHOULDN'T BE. If she's so concerned about giving aid, why doesn't she visit her local hospital, nursing home, clinic of a myriad of charities? She'd stay safe, be helping out her own community, and we wouldn't be spending tax dollars having our military waste its time running around Afghanistan trying to find her.

    Let this be a lesson: Stay OUT of military affairs and let the professionally-trained people handle it.

      What military affair was she involved in? The Military in Afghanistan has nothing to do with Aid but is only there to enforce western will on another country. As far as local Aid that is why we pay so much in taxes, so that our governments provide it.

        We pay so much in taxes because of the military industrial complex. More than 50% of our federal taxes go directly to the military and likely 15-20% more go to the military or intelligence community via black-bag funneling. Which leaves about 30% to go to pork and no-bid contracts in a different country.

          I was trying to speak of the west in general but yes what you say speaks very true of the US.
