The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 245
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order reduced lo mere skeletons and they are passing through their painful death in this manner but no attention is been given to them. Now you have heard the estimate of war expenses - five hundred fifty billion dollars would be needed lo rebuild after the war and approximately One hundred billion dollar of miscellaneous expenses and two hundred billion dollars worth of losses sustained by the Third world countries. The grand total of all this comes lo approximately one thousand billion dollars. As o pposed to that, today, twenty five million African people are on the brink of death, as a result of hunger. And this is an estimate made by the United Nations. If it costs two dollars per day lo provide food for one African person to keep him or her alive then only 1. 5 billion dollars are needed to keep 25 million Africans alive for one whole year. Now you imagine that those who have no mercy for 25 million people - those who are raining down death and destruction on 16 million Iraqis by spending tons of money are raising hue and cry at the death of a few birds! This is nothing but mere deception and mischief. If the allies had an iota of human compassion, they would first attend to the human lives. They would have attended lo the poor Africans and people of other countries who are dying of hunger and attempted to remove the economic imbalance. These 25 million starving Africans could have had two hearty meals for one complete year for only 1. 5 billion dollars. But they continue to spend one billion dollars each day to rain down death and destruction upon human beings and cannot spend this one billion dollars for a period of nine months to promote life - and imagine that this amount will sustain the life of 25 million people!! This reminds me of an anecdote narrated by Sir Winston Churchill in his book "Great Contemporaries": He says that once, when the then Prime Minister Mr Lloyd George was vexed with one of his ministers, Mr Edward Gray, because of his policies, he endeavoured to intercede on his behalf. Attempting to prove his loyalty to Britain he said that even if the Nazi Germans were here and they put a gun on the forehead of Mr Edward Gray to sign on a treaty of their choice, Mr Gray would never yield to such intimidations. To this the Prime Minister retorted that if the Germans were smart enough and knew the weak points of Edward Gray they would rather put it this way "If you don't sign this treaty, we will 245
