...conflict and tragedy. India, which controls roughly two-thirds of the area, and Pakistan, the rest, have fought two wars over the disputed territory. Both governments said they had summoned all available resources to assist the victims, but neither country's response was adequate to the task. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf waited nearly 30 hours after the quake hit before requesting additional support from the U.S. in the form of eight military helicopters that could ferry aid to the quake region. In the Indian Kashmirian mountain village of Skee, residents received no help for five days, even though it overlooks...

Inspectors will have to ask the regime to learn more, and Kim is sure to demand that the U.S. make concessions...
...people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped." PERVEZ MUSHARRAF, Pakistan's President, in an interview with the Washington Post, in which he claimed that rape has become a "money-making concern" for its victims and that his country is being unfairly singled out for violence against women. He later said the Post had misquoted and misinterpreted...
