Now why in gods name would a broke ass country like Ethiopia need WoMD's ? What exactly was the government thinking when they purchased them ?

The reason? The civil war that caused the famine in the first place Johnny. [/QUOTE]I know that, but what caused that civil war in the first place ? Wasn't that famine too ? I don't think Ethiopia was ever a very thriving nation, so the government must have been doing something terribly wrong, wouldn't you say so ? And now they have to pick up the pieces by buying expensive weaponry, with money that could have been easily spend on much more important things, like food for the hungry.
