Dear Mr javed,

                               many thanks for bring a very important issue to our notice.

many countries face food crisis and the super power is making fuel from food grain.

humanitarian organizations keep silence on this issue

Of all the nations, Americans are by far the most ill-informed and
unaware people in the world. Their only source of information are the
hand outs from their various miniseries on which they rely as
Gospel. That is probably the reason that a small minority is ruling
America and government for the rich, by the rich for the rich has been
made possible to the agony of hapless common man.

A few days ago I posted in a Pakistani forum about the wrong
preferences of US Government which have created food problem in at
least 33 Asian and African nations. Many Americans started
criticizing my post and even started abusing me. But the next day
their own presidential candidate criticized the wrong American
policies which caused the shortage of food for poor countries of the
world who can ill afford it.

And now an expert on the subject confirmed what I had said.

`Biofuels pose a moral problem'

PARIS, April 18: Biofuels pose a moral problem and the worst of
rioting prompted by soaring food costs may be yet to come, Dominique
Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, said on Friday.

"When we make biofuels from agricultural products not used for food,
that is fine. But when they are made from food products, this poses a
major moral problem," Strauss-Kahn told Europe 1 radio station on
Friday. Asked if he would support a possible moratorium on biofuels,
Strauss-Kahn said: "When they use foodstuffs." Countries needed to
strike a balance between addressing environmental problems and the
need to ensure people did not perish from hunger, he said, saying
protests sparked by rising food costs around the globe could worsen.

"In terms of food-related riots, the worst is unfortunately possibly
in front of us," he said. "Hundreds of thousands of people are going
to be affected." Food shortages and sky-rocketing costs have set off
rioting and protests in countries including Haiti, Cameroon, Niger and
Indonesia and deeper questioning of first-generation biofuels made
from food crops.—Reuters '

In fact American delay in converting to Public transport or to small
family cars resulted in drain on fuel and caused the price to
skyrocket. It is America again which spends billions of dollars in
latest war planes, missiles and satellite weaponry that resulted
spread of poverty and destitution in mainland America. Its stupid
attack on Iraq and Afghanistan, based on the fake claim of finding
weapons of mass destruction, did not reduce any risk for Americans,
but wasted trillions of dollars that could have been spent on
alleviating problems of the masses.

As long as a small minority continues ruling the most advanced nation
in the world, peace and tranquility can not return to globe, at least
in the foreseeable future.
