I’ve been look at pictures of Kashmir and my stomach turns. How much devastation can we take? Hurricanes. Tsunamis. Earthquakes. Mudslides. Floods. This must be one of the worst years in recent memory for natural disasters.

What’s going to be the fallout from all of this? A new commitment to environmentalism? Better global coordination for relief efforts? Strengthening of government? Greater roles for non-profit operations?

Or nothing?
