Diseased world

It seems that the world is hit by a plethora of diseases. A lot of people have been struck by Polio in Yemen which was thought to be free of polio. Meanwhile Meningitis is wrecking havoc in north India.

At the same time people continue to die of another disease, one which has probably been the cause of most deaths in the human civilisation - human violence. Kashmir and Iraq and Afghanistan all seem to be in the grip of violence. If it is bombs in Baghdad and Srinagar, in Jalalabad it's the rioters who rule the roost.

As I scan through Google news, the best news I can see is Yahoo unveiling music service. If this is the state of world affairs, the less the said, the better it would be.
