#1 Mmm! I don't see how an earthquake affects the supply of food, especially after the summer harvest. It might have killed domestic animals but that would mean less meat and more feed grains available.

#2 It's complicated, Phil. Just hand over your wallet and don't ask too many questions - especially about those bus booms in New Delhi.

#3 Simply put, they want "Relief" from conditions that existed before the quake.

Kashmiris will just have to starve.

They've got the bomb and they're eating grass...
