For the same reason Soviet Russia did for many years ; despotice centralized mis-management of people and resources.How hard would you work to grow food if you knew it was all going to be taken away?Communism never works;never has,never will.The lazy will do nothing ,and eventually the productive people tire of carrying the load.

Right now his biggest worry is trying to put up a front to the peasants that he is a churchgoer.

Colin Freeman, Sunday Telegraph on CNN:

No move to add armed guards on sailing vessels.

Americans would favor ... insurance and costs a problem ... and a pirate could get killed. (paraphrasing)

“No we don’t, and the head of the ship line emphasized, the crews are not armed either.”

That’s insanity!

The MSM is getting into a frenzy, its inconceivable that unarmed people resisted, fought back and can win!

Insanity indeed.

Speechless.

"And with Odinga, the Marxist “cousin” of Obama, in charge of Kenya, after a violent coup, why on EARTH does Kenya, with its Communist Utopia, NEED American food aid? lol "

Hey!! Odinga needs HIS piece of the pie. After all, family DOES count for something, you know.
