Jan 6, 2008 - this happens because of a surge în grain prices worlwide and a clearly incompetent afghan government. I am afraid the Taliban are bound to win one day...thank you Bush&Cheney

Jan 7, 2008 - Doesnt help the farmers are growing poppies instead of food. Anyways NATO is helping, they are the ones making sure that its only shortages rather then full scale famines.

Jan 7, 2008 - The Afghani bread is very tasty and smells very exciting, in my neighborhood in Queens New York we have small Afghani bakery and because of it the smell of fresh baked bread in the whole street, people love it, every body talks about. Afghanistan can feed it self only if this war gives it the chance to stand on its two own feet! distraction was brought on to them they didn't need and they shouldn't be in ths pctur
