#1 In other news, World ends, Women and children hardest hit.

Would it be fair to say that about half the Pakistani population are children?

#2 Would it be fair to remind everyone that Pakistan spent billions on a nuclear arsenal whilst municipal code enforcement officers looked the other way as all these substandard buildings were erected? This is a matter of skewed priorities.

In an ultimate irony, there has been speculation that many of Pakistan's nuclear tipped missiles are now crippled in cracked underground silos.

Billions spent on nothing, and a tenth of a million people dead in a nation more focused on hostility than prosperity. This is the real legacy of Khan.
