United Nations ReliefWeb

So Tom/120mm, you don't feel that NGOs provide any type of value for us in the GWOT or COIN campaigns? Wouldn't we rather have NGOs conducting development efforts in countries where we are trying to create an environment unfavorable to terrorists, rather than bringing in the US military? Islamic extremists are exploiting NGOs to their advantage, why shouldn't we?

I wouldn't give two squirts for any of the UN run relief organizations, but there are private NGOs who are doing good work all over the world and helping to prevent the next generation of folks in these places from repeating the mistakes their uneducated parents have made.
