Another Nail For My Heart

For the time being this journal is Friends Only.

help_pakistan A fandom auction set up to help Pakistan recover from the 2010 floods, which, as of August 16th have displaced over 20 million people, 6 million of whom have still not received any aid.

Jemima Khan had an article published in last week's Sunday Times which was very thought provoking. It's not behind the pay wall so I can link it here.

There are two reasons why this should concern us here. In the geopolitical sense an impoverished, unstable, ungovernable Pakistan, with no control over militant extremists, would be a disaster that would make the floods look like rising damp. More importantly, it should concern us as human beings: a dying father tied his newborn child to a tree trusting that someone would help. That someone should be all of us.
