“The world has always been a dangerous place. From the black plague to
avian flu, Attila the Hun to Osama bin-Laden, Mount Vesuvius to the
Indian Ocean tsunami–and let’s not even mention biological or nuclear
warfare–people and cultures are eternally prone to natural disaster,
social upheaval and just plain killing each other. Some places have it
worse than others.”
