Am I a right to lifer?

The United Nations' World Food Programme is going to have to cut off food aid to around 700,000 Cambodians next month for the lack of around 10 million USD.

The US is currently spending 8.4 billion USD a month in Iraq. For those of you who are bad at maths it would take less than an hour's spend to continue to feed these people.

I believe that these people have a greater right to life than the Iraqi people have a right to death so why don't we just do it? Let everyone put down their guns for an hour and play football just like the Christmas truce in 1914. Someone will have to tell the Yanks that "football" = "soccer" so they don't try and pad up in all that heat!
