#15  Devastating floods are a regular event in Pakistan, because the money set aside for repairs and improvements after each flood is siphoned into numerous private accounts again and again. And so they pre-murder and pre-destroy their neighbours repeatedly, followed by loud cries of despair.

And so Pakistan loses again.

#14  Should attack uphill AFG for not containing the water in their leaky dams.

#13  I would think a lot of the water would flow into India and we'd be getting reports of massive flooding there as well.

#7  Not much chance of gov't-supported reconstruction, either. Probably, NGO's and China "loans".
