I'm not saying that these recent events are not horrible, but on the other hand the sky is not falling.


Tell that to the folks in Kashmir. To them, the sky has indeed fallen.

In Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, there are at least 12,000 dead--and many of them are the professional people who would rebuild the region. The doctors, judges, teachers, engineers.

The region is remote and mountainous--many villages aren't accessible by road even in normal times. Add to that there are millions homeless and living in tents. And winter is coming.

And a Himalayan winter is like nothing we know in the States.
