Food against terrorism

[Jim Metcalf]

To all in the Open Space community:

Please help me spread a powerful idea to combat terrorism.

I'm proposing a simple idea for a radical response to terrorism in our
country. Please think about it in terms of "if your enemy is hungry, feed
him; if your enemy is thirsty, give him a drink" (Romans 12:20). After all,
loving those who hate us is the sweetest form of revenge.

My idea is simple: Send to Pakistan and Afghanistan vast amounts of food.
Feed the hungry! House the homeless! Ignore the Taliban if necessary. Buy
the food from American farmers. Send it with international cooperation. Do
good to those who hate us. We will refuse to fight terrorism with our own
state-sponsored terrorism. And then we must listen to the poor of the world
to understand how they would construct a better world for their children.
