-- James A. Donald
Famines in Africa are caused by communism and socialism, notably the famous Ethiopian famines that occurred under Mengistu, or by war, notably the famous Biafran famine.

Again, a simple-minded answer to a very complicated issue.

So give an example of an important twentieth century famine not caused by socialism or war.

How did war get in there
Sampos original claim was that famine was caused by private enterprise and free markets. My original counter claim (which you dishonestly altered in each post) was that all famines were caused by socialism or war. You on two separate occaisions have edited my original claim to make it easier to rebut. Each time I edited it back, and each time you deleted what I wrote to change the meaning. The first time was just careless editing. The second time was a lie. --digsig James A.
