  This story is very depressing. Words fail me.

  UNICEF: 100,000 Pakistan Kids Face Starvation

  Suhani Bunglani fans flies away from her two baby girls as one sleeps motionless while the other stares without blinking at the roof of their tent, her empty belly bulging beneath a green flowered shirt.

  Their newborn sister already died on the ground inside this steamy shelter at just 4 days old, after the family's escape from violent floods that drowned a huge swath of Pakistan. Now the girls, ages 1 and 2, are slowly starving, with shriveled arms and legs as fragile as twigs.

  More than 100,000 children left homeless by Pakistan's floods are in danger of dying because they simply do not have enough to eat, according to UNICEF. Children already weak from living on too little food in poor rural areas before the floods are fighting to stay alive, as diarrhea, respiratory diseases and malaria attack their emaciated bodies.

  Oh...that is so incredibly sad.

  So here is my question to you, WTBS: You say that you hold the TRUE solution for these people. How can that child listen to your message? They can't. And you are going to dare and condemn another religious organization for stepping up and trying to feed these children, and say that they are not offering the true solution, God's Kingdom?!? How dare you, WTBS! You can build multimillion dollar assembly halls and other gratuitous facilities, but you REFUSE to help these children? What is this child going to do with a fucking Watchtower?

  You make me sick!

  (Everyone else: Sorry for the anger. It just really upsets me.)

  World population is exploding and it could become a problem in the USA, until some super germ/virus causes a worldwide pandemic and kills off 20% of us.

  I remember seeing the same pictures when Biafra was in the news- around 1968-1969- (one millioin died)-

  This discussion needs to include the fact that Islamic extremists have thwarted Western aid to these poor victims of a natural disaster. They would rather see babies starving than be shown up for the worthless fanatics they are.

  Pakistan is more worried about their Cricket Team, and the accusations of match fixing.

  Imran Kahn was on tv not to implore us to help flood victims, but to debate the cricket scandal. ( how rich is HE- how much has he given???)

  Pakistan has a nuclear bomb program. The nation spends more on these two things. They dont need my money.

  How much money did the Muslim world send to aid the victims of Katrina in the US?

  Pakistan needs to take care of their own people.
