| #4 Time to make even another dime of disaster relief or financial aid contingent upon removing Islam as their state religion and prohibiting shari'a law. Until then, they can drown in their own diarrhea for all I care. |

| #2 The Banglas are doing much better than they have historically due to better organization and weather forecasting. Some death tolls from similar cyclones: 1997: killed 150,000 1991: killed 140,000 1970: killed 500,000 |
