Our prayers go out to the people of South Asia who were rocked by a massive earthquake yesterday that triggered mudslides and tremors which destroyed towns and villages across Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
Thankfully, we know how quickly and efficiently the U.S (and other countries) responded to the devastating Tsunami that washed away so much of Indonesia last December; therefore, these countries should take heart that the best aid America has to offer is on its way, if it’s not already there.
Note: Unlike the wild predictions of casualties that were pronounced in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, 18,000 have already been confirmed dead from this earthquake and it is feared that that number could rise significantly. And, this does not even account for the living dead – those wounded and displaced – who could number in the hundreds of thousands.
May God be with you South Asia…

Maybe this is Allah’s way of punishing bin Laden and his al queda Islamic fundamentalist. Too bad Pat Robertson did not meet his maker in New Orleans.

This is really sad. Just imagine what this country would be going through if the mayor was right about 10,000 being dead. Those poor people and they don’t have the billions to rebuild that we have.
