Those Poor Starving Little Muslims 11-01-08 mpg Millions of Afghans Face Starvation Some quotes...."With a combination of a summer drought, poor irrigation and rising global food prices, a famine is unveiling in Afghanistan with third of Afghans are suffering chronic food insecurity, a British think-tank warned on Friday, October 31. -- "While the eyes of the world have focused on violence which is increasingly terrorist in character, an estimated 8.4 million Afghans, perhaps a third of the nation, are now suffering from 'chronic and transitory food insecurity'," Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) analyst Paul Smyth said in a press briefing on its website." -- "British charity Oxfam warned earlier this year that around five million Afghans are facing food shortages. " Isn't that nice, Oxfam is there to help "those poor starving little Muslims". Here's a suggestion, why don't the Brits and the NRE stop bombing and killing everyone in sight? How about that idea? This whole thing is sort of like taking your SUV and repeatedly running over some poor pedestrian, again, and again, and again. Than after exiting your vehicle and viewing the horrible carnage you've caused, you proceed to exclaim as loudly as you can to everyone who can hear you, "My goodness gracious how did this terrible tragedy happen". You than pick up the poor pedestrian, stuff him into your trunk, take him to the local hospital - which you happen to own – very publicly pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for saving the "poor sod"....than you send him the bill for services rendered. And when he can't pay up....you put him in jail. This is what passes nowadays as help for the so-called third world. It's not funny or amusing anymore, perhaps people in the "Anglo-American West" should just stop causing all the problems in the first place. - mpg |
