Worldwide ironies and tragedies

While most of America--and plenty of the rest of the world, too--bakes in record dry weather, comes this breaking news today:

Heavy monsoon rains trigger flooding in northern Pakistan; 26 people die

Would that we could take some of their burden, with their monsoon rains, eh?

To make things worse, from the article:

"Pakistan suffered the worst flooding in its 65-year history in 2010. Floodwaters inundated one-fifth of the country, an area larger than England, and killed over 1,700 people. Over 20 million people were affected."

Wouldn't it be great if the world made sense?
