5. Why stop with malaria?
The cost of Congressional appropriations for the Iraq war has been $369 billion or so. There are 786 million people in the world who are hungry. Do the math. We could have spent $469 apiece for food. That is for the whole friggin world.

Stamp out world hunger or invade and occupy Iraq....which approach would help us eliminate terrorism more effectively?

Do you think the terrorists just might have a harder sell to paint America as evil if we stamped out world hunger instead of waging foolish wars?
