6.7million faced with starvation


From the Associated Press:

An estimated 6.7 million Zimbabweans, more than half the population, are in danger of starvation in the coming months because of food shortages blamed on drought and the government's chaotic program to seize thousands of white-owned commercial farms for redistribution to black settlers.


Our foreign policy should work to prevent this sort of outrage from happening. Not work for oil concerns.

I think that a foreign policy that actually helped the world instead of polarizing them might just make people like us.

Listen to this:

Underfed children were dropping out of schools or going absent to search for food.


WHAT?????

I'm going to find out what I can do to help. There must be a US-based foundation somewhere to help these poor people.
