MessageThanks for the article about the war in Iraq anniversary. The perspective about the cost of the war and how many hungry children it could feed is priceless!! We need a lot more information like this to help wake up the American people.

[Peter says: Thank you for your reaction, Amos. I do my best :-) ]

MessageI really enjoyed reading these stories, your great writing and great pictures too. What a brilliant insight into your work and life and why you do these things - it reminds me why I have loved working in tropical countries too in development, though never so near to danger as you.

[Peter says: Thank you, Natasha!]

MessageYour sentiments are noble; however, I do not think that you have thought through your argument thoroughly enough. I say this for the following reasons:

1. You are obviously criticizing the war through your UNWFP facts. Never trust the UN or take it seriously for that matter. It is an organization that put countries like Iran and Syria on equal standings as Canada and Germany. Give me a break - a leftist chatter box.

2. You have not considered the Iraqi people, the Kurds, the Jews... you and I! All these people will now have longer and safer lives. The Kurds and Jews are now that much safer and now have to worry a little less about their children seeing the inside of a gas chamber.

3. The war - though the justifications were bogus - is a fruitful venture. The money is necessary - war does cost tons of cash. This said, there are tons of other government programs that could afford a pay cut. Both Republican and Democratic initiatives.

4. What about the starving children HERE?

Finally, I want to stress the point that I am not in favor of children starving. I am just trying to make the point that criticizing the Iraqi war by talking about starving children is a moot point. You have not even considered the ramifications, e.g., social infrastructure, if all these children were to survive.

[Peter says: Thank you for your reaction. All opinions are welcome. I have cross-posted your note onto the post's comments feed, and replied/commented there. Hope you don't mind. -P.]

MessageAnd what kind of meal is that, if it costs 5+ times less than a normal bread ?
nice calculations smilie

[Peter says: Thanks.. Many people asked details about this. So, I added the facts about US$0.19/day to feed a child and the details on the meal ingredients here.]
