A large part of our troops' efforts in Agfghanistan are aimed at improving peoples' basic living conditions.There are now Muslim merchants operating small businesses on ISAF bases in Afghanistan; Public Works projects such as road construction projects organized by ISAF Provincial Reconstruction Teams are being done by Afghans, all in an effort to create badly needed jobs. Some good prep work is being done to open these peoples' hearts to newer, better ways of thinking and eliminate the Taliban's power base. They are only starting to open the door to non-Muslims. That's why it was foolish and unnecessarily dangerous to try to sneak Bibles in through our military. That's why it is necessary to be as shrewd as snakes. It was a worthwhile idea, but the timing and methodology were way off.
