They are connected to each other. Cause and effect. Money and resources going to the wrong endeavor.

The rationing of rice is in order to stabilize the price which has more than doubled in the countries that depend on it. If the rice goes to the highest bidder on the open market then famine will result.

The money spent on Iraq has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Rice doesn't involve as much money as armaments.....


Monney makes the world go round,
the world go round,
the world go round,
monney makes the world go round,

etc.

Unless the US puts a muzzle on the people involved in producing armaments
it will have to ration a lot more then rice in the coming future.....
