So we got 23 million Iraqis we tried starving, then decided needed "liberating". Bring 'em democracy, freedom, the right to pursue happiness. So, hundreds of billion dollars and thousands and thousands of lives later, we haven't done that.

Well, now, there are 11 million Africans starving. Wouldn't helping them live be a more noble cause than killing Iraqis that don't want us over there? Are neocons compassionate, or, maybe, oil-hungry?

Oh. I forgot. We can't do everything. Can't expect us to do everything. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do something, though! Like invade the country with oil.

Famine threatens 11 million in Horn of Africa
Drought, conflict have pushed region to brink, says U.N. food organization

"ROME - An estimated 11 million people in the Horn of Africa “are on the brink of starvation” because of severe drought and war, with some deaths already being reported in Kenya, the United Nations said Friday.

"People in Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia need food aid, water, new livestock and seeds, the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization said in a statement.

“Millions of people are on the brink of starvation in the Horn of Africa due to recent severe droughts coupled with the effects of past and ongoing conflicts,” the agency said."

Are neocons compassionate, or what?
