Revelation: Chapter 6, 6

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny;
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

I don't quite see the connection to Revelation.

Revelation 6,6 depicts a days wages are needed for a piece of bread, thus the connection. Just a thought, that is all.

If the super Rich Saudis, Saddam and OBL spent their money on feeding the poor in the middle east, this would never happen.

OBL has spent enough money on the Talibanners to feed all of Afghanistan for decades.

Why aren't the super rich Saudis buying wheat and flying it into Afghanistan with the Red Crescent insuring that it gets in the right hands?

Be fair. 100 kg is a lot of wheat flour.

I don't know, but it's enough to make hundreds of loaves of bread, I'd think.

Let's not forget, folks, the Afghanis have always sold brides. The only news here is how much the prices have dropped.

Their version of 'charity' is to send thuggish Wahabbi clerics to inflict their puritanism on unwilling moderate Muslims. They made themselves quite unpopular in Bosnia that way.

Of course they also like paying for Palestinian 'martyrs.'

Are they for sale only for marriage, or can I buy a few for adoption? I think a ten-pound bag of flour is about $2, so 26 bags would be $52.

If you're in Afghanistan, they fall out of airplanes for free.
The better question is, how much is being taken out of your paycheck to pay for it.
