Severe drought is affecting Somalia putting around 10 million people in danger. Hundreds of thousands have crossed into neighboring countries for food and water. Drought is not something that happens overnight. It must have taken months, even years to get to such a state of crisis. Yet even among these starving people you see little babies and pregnant women. Animals regulate their fertility according the availability of food but humans go on breeding regardless. Why? After the jubilation of Mubarak's departure protesters are back in Tahrir square as they are in Tunisia. They thought that " democracy " was some magical state which will suddenly shower greater food, jobs and homes like manna from heaven. The reality is that new governments will have the same problems because of exploding population growth. No system can provide food and jobs for infinite numbers of people. In Yemen not only is the population booming but it is in danger of running out of drinking water because of the cultivation of Qat, a mild stimulant, and democracy is not going to solve that. Ben Ali and Mubarak are seen as villains because they were dictators but not one politician from so called democracies is talking about control of population. While they are distributing food to Somali refugees should they not be distributing condoms at the same time? The total area of arable land in the world is fixed, around 15% of the total land area and nothing is going to change that. Politicians of poor countries see poor people easy to control for votes. Rich countries want to force others to use GM seeds and thus control food supply. A huge army of slaves paid with food.
