No, we do not have to figure out how to feed them. We have to help them, and pull out as quickly as possible, with the security situation. When things are secure, and a modest amount of oil is flowing, they will feed themselves. First some of them will get a goat, then some chickens (the country ones..)...then the farmers who were so worried about getting their tomatoes to market during the war will sell their tomatoes...then the incredible number of engineers in that country will put together small irrigation projects. Roads will be fixed here and there. More and more people will have computers. If there is money, and there are roads, there will be food flowing every which way. The key is always security. Even if there were nothing but arid land, as long as no one was shooting the delivery persons, food could get to them. We are not the problem; we are the cure. mg
