WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon says it is changing the color of the food aid packages being dropped over Afghanistan because of fears they could be confused with unexploded cluster bombs.

Both are yellow and approximately the same size.
In future the food packages, known as Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDR), are likely to be colored blue -- although the decision on the new coloring has yet to be finalized.

Just tried StarOffice today! It's MSOffice compatible and runs on a variety of platforms, so there is no problem editing your docs. And it's free, too.

Btw, this blog was entered using Opera, which is a lot faster than the behemots out there.
