"As I write, hundreds of thousands of refugees are fadcing starvation between
Afghanastan and Pakistan, two countries that weren't very well off before
the latest round of conflict. Somehow, that situation is more on my mind
than academic one-up-person-ship these days."

Yes, aside the terrible situation of people trying to scape from conflict zone there's also the ocidental paranoia that comes from a possible terrorist attack (bombs, airplanes, anthrax contamination etc). Today, in Switzerland, it was probable found anthrax mixed with cocaine... Last week a bomb exploded here, in Brazil, in Rio, at a McDonnald's shop... And news from white pownd in letters comes from many places...
