In October of 2001, the United Nations warned that due to a brutal combination of poverty, drought, dislocation, and long years of warfare, up to seven and a half million people were at risk of dying from starvation during Afghanistan's coming months -- at precisely the time that the United States launched a post-9-11 war to displace the ruling Taliban. As the snows of late November approached, and with them a guaranteed death sentence for millions living in areas made impassable to aid trucks by winter snows, Washington refused to halt its bombing runs and Northern Alliance proxy war long enough for aid to resume. It was only through the serendipitous decision of the Taliban to withdraw to the mountains before winter's onset that mass famine -- in effect, a genocidal invasion -- was averted."
