Even The Tsunami Has A Bright Side
Much has been written about the Tsunami and it's aftermath, but one thing that I haven't heard anything about in Australia is that Pakistan has offered aid to it's old enemy India:
Foreign Ministry spokesman Masood Khan said Pakistan opened the negotiations between their foreign secretaries in Islamabad by extending sympathy for the "massive destruction in southern India caused by earthquake and tidal waves."
"Pakistan offered assistance in relief and rescue," Khan told a press conference after the first day of talks, which reviewed progress on a year-long peace process aimed at ending 57 years of hostility between the neighbouring countries.
Three years ago these guys were pointing nuclear weapons at each other as they teetered on the brink of war. It just goes to show that even the worst disaster brings with it the potential for enlightened reaction.
