Pakistan Earthquake

A 7.6 quake struck Pakistan in Kashmir. (The Amateur Seismic Centre reports 7.3. Still a strong quake.) Thousands are feared dead. When will President Bush be blamed and when will Halliburton be accused of reaping profits from the dead?

Enough of the black humor. My prayers are with the victims and their families.

"Pakistani Quake Toll May be in Thousands: Spokesman"

"Hundreds Dead in Powerful Asian Earthquake"

UPDATE: The death toll has reached either 2,000 or 3,000 depending on your news source.

Adding to the global misery, 1,400 people died in landslides in Guatemala.
