When the Group of Eight leading industrial nations meets this week in Canada, feeding Africa's hungry should be high on its agenda.

Why? Rewarding them for bad behavior will only encourage more bad behavior. If the starving people of those nations are so gutless they would rather starve than have a revolution,let them starve.

BTW,somebody ought to point out to this educated " president of the World Peace Foundation" that it ain't genocide when you do it to your own people. It's only mass murder.

Precisely correct. This isn't genocide, it's a callous manipulation of the means of production in favor of one political class and to the detriment of all others. And as long as Mugabe controls the means of distribution as well there is absolutely nothing the U.N. can do to alleviate the starvation. Move the food into warehouses and the thugs will take control of the warehouses, as in Somalia. Air-drop it and the thugs will intercept it on the ground. Move it around the country to distribution points and the thugs will be there to "provide security." This is not really a production problem, nor is it a distribution problem, it's a thug problem. And Western media are stubbornly refusing to admit it.
