floods of tears

My contacts in South Korea tell me that up until fifty years ago, it was comparatively common for whole villages in their country to be swept away in floods with massive loss of life.

But something changed fifty years ago.

South Korea came under the protection of the United States of America.

And those ruling South Korea were tasked with observing when floods would happen, where they would happen, why they would happen, and how their impact might be minimised.

Advanced drainage systems were installed.

Villages were moved to higher ground.

Flood walls were constructed.

The net result of this, my South Korean contacts tell me, is that flooding in South Korea no longer results in any villages being swept away.

Now consider the situation of Pakistan.

For the past thousand years, Pakistan has been inundated on an almost annual basis with seasonal monsoon rains.

During that thousand years Pakistanis have been very busy.

Pakistanis have been very busy chanting "Allah U Akbar," "Kill The Infidels," and "Death To The West."

Pakistanis have been very busy putting to death any Pakistanis who dare believe Jesus Christ is the son of God.

Pakistanis have been very busy murdering their daughters in honor killings, that is to say for being perceived to have brought dishonour on their families, say by being raped or by refusing to marry their ninety year old cousin Jethro Bin Mohammed.

Pakistanis have been very busy murdering their adult women, usually using oil from cooking stoves to stage an accident, which barbarism is considered easier than obtaining a divorce.

Pakistanis have been very busy blinding schoolgirls with acid to stop them going to school.

Pakistanis have been very busy pyschopathisising their sons in such a way that their sons are good for practically nothing except waging Jihad against the rest of the human race.

Pakistanis have been very busy hiding Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Pakistanis have been very busy launching attacks on American forces in Afghanistan and Indian forces in Kashmir.

Yes, Pakistanis have been busy.

So very busy.

Much too busy with all of this self indulgent islamic fascist drivel to even contemplate building flood defences, moving their villages to safe locations, or altering the water courses and drainage systems where water is most likely to collect as it has collected every year for the past thousand.

They just haven't had time over the past thousand years, what with all the Jihad, to actually look at their own environment and do some work to improve it.

Consequently every year when the Monsoons sweep through the subcontinent, the Pakistanis cry out: "Oh Allah. How did this happen? Who could have seen it coming?"

A comparatively small number of people have died this year in floods in Pakistan.

The United Nations claims something like 1500 people are dead.

If it's a UN figure it will have been exaggerated.

Incredibly, the UN is also claiming that the present Pakistan flooding is worse than the 2004 Tsunami which supposedly killed a quarter of a million people.

I don't trust the Tsunami figures either but let's face it, they blow the death toll in Pakistan out of the water.

When the UN tells a lie, it tells a big one.

The UN is now callling for massive relief efforts and fund allocations for Pakistan.

Never mind the millions being murdered in Sudan, or the Congo.

Never mind the millions being starved by Robert Mugabe's dictatorship in Zimbabwe.

Never mind the forced enslavement of millions in North Korea.

Never mind the pissant denial of the human rights of millions in Burmah.

No.

The priority is Pakistan.

Send your cash and resources to Pakistan.

The Mussies have got their feet wet.

And apparently the world owes them a living.
