You have freedom now. What need have you of food?

[sharplittleteeth]

From today's Age:

And a more substantial assault on Saddam's legacy is under way as the authority prepares to dismantle the food distribution system that gave free rations of flour, rice, cooking oil and other staples to every Iraqi.

Described by the United Nations as the world's most efficient food network, the system still keeps Iraqis from going hungry. But US civilian administrator Paul Bremer views it as a dangerous socialist anachronism.

The Coalition Provisional Authority is planning to abolish it in January, despite warnings that this could lead to hunger and riots.

thanks for posting that; I found it too, buried in the Age. Totally frightening and disgusting and shows where their real feelings are.

I just hope they instigate something else so that people don't suffer too much

Who said the McCarthy era was finished?
I mean this is the same 'government' that think Australia's Medicare system is a socialist idea.

People suck!
