Is US behind the sudden food crises that arose out of nowhere only 8 months ago ?

What do you brothers and sisters think?

Facts are that millions of people around the world are experiencing higher food prises since October 2007. Many more millions pf poor people are going hungry every day because food is nowhere to be seen. Food is going missing!

Some just find it convinient to blame "biofuel"; and other people get an easy way out saying "climate change" is the culprit.

Give your opinions.

I think it is Kaafirs doing it. Ayatollah said so.

[b]Iranian President slams 'devilish' West over food crisis[/b]

AFP - Tuesday, June 3 02:06 pm

ROME - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad slammed the West over its handling of the global food crisis Tuesday, accusing certain "big powers" of acting with sometimes "devilish" motives.

In a speech to a food summit in Rome, he notably called for the crisis to be tackled outside the United Nations system, alleging that major powers were imposing their will on the UN Security Council.

He also alleged that western countries were acting to devalue the US dollar, fueling the rise in oil and food prices.

"Today the planners of the big powers act in order to devaluate (the) dollar," he said according to the official translation of his comments, accusing them of seeking to "impose their will on the market."

"We know that the devaluation of dollar and the increase of the energy prices are two sides of the same coin which are mentioned as some of the reasons behind the recent troubles," he said.

He was referring to recent surges in global food prices which have sparked food riots in some countries and threatened famine in others.

The hardline Iranian leader questioned whether the crisis should be handled within the UN system at all.

"How can the mechanism of the UN improve the situation when some of these powers decide for the Security Council which is the highest decision-making body and make instrumental use of it?" he said.

"Basically, how can the existing mechanisms solve the problems when every country pursues its own policies based on its interest and when various wills and occasionally-devilish motivations and vast facilities are employed to impose unjust policies on global relations?"

[b]Mugabe blasts West for seeking 'regime change' in Zimbabwe[/b]

AFP - Tuesday, June 3 05:02 pm

ROME - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe accused the West Tuesday of seeking to provoke "illegal regime change" by crippling his country economically.

Speaking at a summit on the global food crisis, the veteran leader -- facing run-off presidential polls this month -- accused the West of using non-governmental bodies and opposition political parties to try and bring him down.

A British minister described his participation at the Rome summit as "obscene" given the economic collapse of Zimbabwe, once known as southern Africa's breadbasket, under Mugabe's government.

Mugabe rebuffed the British criticism, saying: "The United Kingdom has mobilised their friends and allies in Europe, north America, Australia and New Zealand to impose illegal economic sanctions against Zimbabwe.

"All this has been done to cripple Zimbabwe's economy and thereby effect illegal regime change in our country," he told a summit on the global food price crisis.

The one-time breadbasket, whose maize exports helped feed neighbours such as Zambia and Malawi, Zimbabwe is now short of even the most basic foodstuffs with most people surviving on two meals a day.

Mugabe blamed Zimbabwe's economic isolation for its dire state, noting that the West had also cut off all development assistance, stopped lines of credit and other sources of international funding for his country, as well as pushing companies "not to do business with Zimbabwe."

In addition, "funds are being channelled through non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to (...) opposition political parties which are a creation of the West.

"Further, these western-funded NGOs also use food as a political weapon with which to campaign against (the) government especially in the rural areas," he told delegates at the summit in Rome.

Mugabe said the British-led campaign against Zimbabwe was in retaliation for his land reforms, which had seen farms formerly held by some 4,000 mostly British landowners transferred to over 300,000 previously landless families.

"While this land reform programme has been wholly welcomed by the vast majority of our people, it has, however, regrettably elicited wrath from our former colonial masters," he said.

Earlier Britain's International Development Minister Douglas Alexander vowed to snub Mugabe at the Rome summit.

"I think Robert Mugabe's attendance at a world food summit is quite frankly obscene," he told AFP.

Britain was once in bed with Sir Mugabe when he was obeying British orders:
