Well, they should have read the Bible’s Old Testament. They would have known to save up from their harvests in fat years to take care of themselves in the inevitable lean years. They are not our problem!

Yes, I know those folks are Muslims. Many of them would just as soon slit your throat as look at you. Nevertheless, I am 100% in favor of giving them technical advice and support.

Beyond that, there is not much more that we can - or should - do.

[Starvation often leads to war.]

I was thinking along those lines, too.

This is a nuclear-armed Islamic nation. Functioning, proven, active nuclear weapons.

One that harbored Osama bin Laden, what, 1500 feet away from a Pakistani ISI installation?

Not saying the sky is falling.

The “locusts” thing just struck me, after what went on in Africa recently.

They're Muslims, but I don't know how much of our ( Christians and Jews ) OT they took and messed with.

And NO...this is NOT our problem at all!

Can we get the locusts hooked on opium poppies? That would make a great Afghan occupation force.

Not our problem. Maybe if they renounced Islam and their backward tribal ways, gave up their nukes, and spent their money and energy on becoming civilized community, they’d fair better.

Poppy-powered locusts?

Yikes!!!

Locusts on heroin?

Nordberg: Heroin Frank! Heroin!

Lt. Frank Drebin: That’s a pretty tall order there, Nordberg. You’re gonna have to give me a couple of days on that one.

It’s not just the Old, but the New too, where they insist that Jesus is not the Son of God and wasn’t crucified.

Also, there is exactly one Bible verse quoted in the whole Koran, that being Psalm 37:29; but even Surah 21:105 mangles that one.
