One less war in the world and there will be a lot of money freed to make people to not having to starve. War is expencive, CERN is not in that perspective.
How much did the war in Afganistan cost? And what did it achieve?

Are the talibans still there?
Could we use this money spent on this war against talibans (which was never won) to some good for the starving people? And how much good would we achieve?

Might, could-
If we spent our money feeding the starving they [b]would live, putt irrigation systems on to Affrican farms and they would yeald food. Purify water and childern would be safe to drink it.[/b]
Maybe solving one problem could help the other one. I believe that was money well spent, since we spend higher amounts on useless crap.
Take the olympics for example, China invested about 40 billion dollars on it. Was it truly useful?
