>ну дык именно это я и говорю: ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТь НЕИЗВЕСТНА. Собеседник же считает что система была "эффективной". Аргументов нет ни у меня ни у него. Почему я должен ему возражать, не понимаю - чтобы последнее слово в споре оставить за собой, что ли?
Unlike in Afghanistan, international aid organizations have not played a significant role in the distribution of food here, meaning that those groups also would have to start from scratch if they wanted to help feed people.

Iraq spends about $1.3 billion every six months under the program to import wheat, rice, sugar and other commodities, which are distributed to every home using a network of local distribution agents. The ration system is regarded by the United Nations as the world's largest and most efficient food-distribution program of its kind.
