"There ia a big disaster occurring on the Pakistan border right now. Apparently there is no water and people cannot even clean their wounds so medicine isn't helping. The dropping of supplies isn't working because they are being shattered on impact and the people are not getting to the crates that may survive the drop. I was told that the lack of water is the gravest problem right now. The bombing has destroyed the sources of water so the refugees are stranded." I hadn't heard. I had heard last week that the Taliban wouldn't let the UN distribute food, and I knew the US wanted to get food to these people b4 the winter snows. There has been a drought in Afghanistan for four years so I guess it doesn't take much to destroy the water supply.- Mephisto "Another friend of mine missed flight 93 by one week. She lives in New Jersey and 48 friends of her family are missing presumed dead. There are probably thousands of people in the same condition." I am very sad, Pat for you, your friends and for everyone who was hurt by this horrible tragedy. It's impossible to find the precise words to describe how I feel about the September 11 attacks -Mephisto.
