29,000 Somali Children Under 5 Dead In Famine: U.S. Official

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Kaltum Mohamed sits beside a small mound of earth, alone with her thoughts. It is her child's grave – and there are three others like it.

Just three weeks ago, Mohamed was the mother of five young children. But the famine that has rocked Somalia has claimed the lives of four of them. Only a daughter remains. The others starved to death before Mohamed's eyes as she and her husband trekked to Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, in search of aid.

And we are supposed to feel sorry for them? Maybe they should stop popping out kids if they can not support them.

We can not save our OWN people, let alone the rest of the world. The idiots in the federal government can't seem to figure that out.

All foreign aid needs to be cut until we can get our own house in order.

Thank God, He's prevented another Obama. No, really, this happens all over the world, like Ethiopia, The population exceeds the land's ability to supply humans with sustenance, and people die off to the support rate of the land. Period. Reality sometimes sucks, but it's not our job to pay for that. We have a sovereign country that needs to keep our own in check.

It's not the childrens fault.

Huffpo certainly doesn't like to emphasize the fact that al Shabeeb controls this area and is implementing the starvation to keep control. Radical Islamic terrorists are the reason for the starvation, but Muslims and Blacks are the protected races, one must never tell the truth about them.

Even though these people were the sames ones dancing and celebrating in the streets when other Muslims killed, mangled, and paraded American bodies in their streets, who do they call when they're starving? Saudia Arabia? Iraq? Iran? Nooooo. They call upon America! Death to America! That is, until they are starving and realize that other muslims are too busy building bombs and killing people (mostly other muslims, stupid low-lifes that they are). HOWEVER, they are children and despite the politics of their so-called country, we should help them. Thats what Christians are commanded to to by Christ himself. He will judge us AND them at the appropriate time. Just my opinion....
