No, I can't say all that for a fact. But I can take a good guess that
the starvation around the world the original poster was talking about is
not our doing, through any type of politics. There's a lot of poverty
around the world, sorry to say, that's not our doing or responsibility.
Why is it that when we (the US) decides to spend _our_ money on _our_
problem other people feel the need to bitch and moan about us not
bailing out someone elses government?
