The Crying Heard Round the World

The tsunami of last December was unquestionably the single biggest natural disaster I've ever seen, but the past two weeks must hold the record for the greatest number of unrelated non-war disasters.

In case the following slipped by in the footnotes:

- Nearly 1000 killed in Baghdad stampede.
- Massive typhoon damage and casualties in Taiwan and China.
- Major flooding in Romania and Hungary has killed at least 40 and displaced 1000's.
- Major flooding in Indochina has killed dozens and displaced more than 10,000.
