Does It Come Down To Fighter Jets Or Phikwe?

I am not sure that I can remember any previous time when there were so many news stories tripping over each other - much like listening to the international news of the day – one disaster after another with the key score sheet being the number of recorded or estimated dead and injured.

Floods, land slides, road and train accidents, fires, terrorist attacks and suicide bombers. It is always infinitely depressing. Sadly, the domestic scene, with its own special catalogue of disaster, albeit of its own kind, has now become little different.
