This is more bad news for the US. OPEC assholes don't care about feeding billions of poor people, 'Let kind-hearted Americans feed them, they are ridiculously fat and have too much money!'.
Price of oil, and therefore food will stay sky-high. The US will get the blame no matter what.

This is how the world works.

Let Saudi Arabia, Russia and China feed them.
(Now imagine Putin, Hu Jintao, and King Abdullah :D)

"If they would ..die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population. ... It's enough for a man to understand his own business, and not to interfere with other people's. Mine occupies me constantly. Good afternoon, gentlemen!"

Stop the cycles of dependency.

But why worry?

History has shown that the people America has kept from starving seem to have such short memories!

Hans, it's a post that can best be ignored. There's an old story about an exchange between a KGB and a CIA guy. The KGB guy says to the CIA guy: you know, you Americans are much better at propaganda than we are -- the problem is, you believe your own propaganda. No one believes ours, including us.
