HERE ARE THE TOP TEN REASONS FOR THE 25% INFANT MORTALITY RATE IN AFGHANISTAN:
10 – Smart bombs aren’t very smart
9 – Clean water is considered a delicacy
8 – The only “formula” sold in Afghan markets is for homemade nitrate bombs
7 – Like Al Qaeda, medical doctors are no longer in the country
6 – Drone sensors often mistak...e breast milk for liquid explosive
5 – Not all babies are lucky enough to have heroine dealer parents
4 – Suicide bombers make lousy nannies
3 – Karzai’s cronies were so busy stuffing the ballot boxes… Never mind. Even I can’t go there!
2 – Like many backward and stupid countries, they don’t have Healthcare for all
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THE 25% INFANT MORTALITY RATE IN AFGHANISTAN IS: Starvation! Most people who fight with the Taliban do so on a day basis to make a few dollars to feed their children. Heck of a job we’re doing helping these folks!Več
