| Annan warns of 'massive death' unless world gives more aid |
| 2005-10-21 |
| The United Nations has appealed to the international community to step up aid to Pakistan if it wants to prevent a "second, massive wave of death", while international aid officials described the relief operation as one of the toughest the world has ever known. "We have never had this kind of logistical nightmare ever. We thought the tsunami was the worst we could get. This is worse," Jan Egeland, the United Nations emergency relief coordinator, said in Geneva. Nearly two weeks after the earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people, the United Nations estimated half a million people were still cut off. |

| #11 Given that Pakistan is a nest of vipers that nurtured the Taliban and al Qaeda in the run-up to 9/11, I think massive death there may be a feature rather than a bug. The more of them die, the fewer of them will be left to join some jihadi cause. |

| #10 How is that tsunami aid distribution coming along? Are the people that need it actually getting it? |

| #9 Oh, so you've been talking with Governor Blanco again? Don't forget to throw in the 'cannibalism' line too. By the way, what did humanity do back in the 19th century when these massive disasters occurred? Or they didn't occur because there was no MSM? |

| #7 My son Kofi is currently setting up shell companies to redistribute the cash and we anticipate sending peace keepers as we expect many hungry women and boys will be willing to exchange sex for food. |

Our supply of champange and fois gras is running dangerously low. There is also a shortage of goats and young boys for UN peacekeepers. Please send aid. |
