Nature's fury (editorial) [1]

Cyclone Nargis in the Irrawady delta region of Myanmar and the disastrous earthquake in the Sichuan province in China have each taken a toll of more than 50,000 lives. In each case, the victims were the ordinary people of the two regions in two distinct countries. Those worst hit, in both cases, are the poorest of the poor. Nature can take away more human lives than the worst terrorist in the world.
