Making charity history

The World Food Programme has announced that it planning on stopping distributing food aid to 70,000 people in Djibouti due to a lack of supplies. It needs 6 million USD in order to be able to continue the operation until the end of the year and 1 million USD immediately to prevent them having to shut the programme down. It takes the US about 10 minutes to spend 1 million USD in Iraq destroying people's lives. Wouldn't this be a better use of the funds?
