Everyone hates these people.
The flooding just keeps getting worse and worse. On Saturday, the UN estimated that 4 million people were affected by the flooding in Pakistan. By Sunday they revised that estimate to 6 million people. Today, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that over 13 million people are affected.
It is no wonder that a UN officials are saying this is bigger than the 2004 tsunami. In fact, that would make it bigger than the combined number of people affected by the Tsunami, Haiti earthquake and 2005 Kashmir earthquake…combined. Make no mistake: this is the worst natural disaster in recent history. Here is a map of affected areas from OCHA. That is alot of tragedy.
Where are all the fundraisers with Hollywood movie stars crying about the massive human suffrage? Where’s the super mega concert with U2, Coldplay, Jay-Z, Kayne West, and every other A-plus musician? Where’s the commercials interrupting the NFL Hall of Fame game asking people to donate to rebuild a village?
Oh, that’s right, people only give a shit about Pakistan when Al Qaeda’s involved.

Well Phuck I guess there must be a whole lot of people out there who simply shrug,and say ‘humph..why not just let the little brown fuckers drown? Afterall,their own president Zardari was off in the U.K swanning around trying to raise funds to launch his son’s political career…which was so tiring he had to have a rest at his French chateau.’ Hellooooo?? people.Remember military dictator (and equally corrupt)General Mushareff?At the moment the only aid is coming from the military,giving them an excuse to take over the country again.Al qaeda IS organising flood relief and urging people to ignore foreign aid (U.N,Oxfam,etc)
Or, ..(now how’s this for a fucking radical idea?) We could pull the finger out of our ass and act in a Humanitarian manner and do something constructive.Because I seem to recall the christian “theory” along the lines of ‘help thy neighbour’

btw,thought I should mention that the current Prime Minister of Australia has admitted she is an atheist.OMFG!!!! And if she wins the coming election on august 21,her de-facto partner will live in the official residence.So,in anticipation of some country taking an enlightened approach,I have lit a votive candle to the queen of the fairies to aid in this sanity prevailing.

Wait, you mean bombing entire villages full of old women and young children isn’t humanitarian?
