Natural Disasters and Margaret Wente

Margaret Wente: Margaret Wente in the Globeheaves a sigh and says "the world is full of far more victims of wars, violence … political repression than we can ever take in, according to Rabble. All we can do is accept a lucky few, and try to discourage the rest." She sounds like she already has donor fatigue. Anyway, even natural disasters like global warming aren't merely natural now. If anyone responsible it those bad behavers over in Africa and, maybe, the mean smugglers. A gaggle of retired statesmen and George Soros-type bizfolk also fretted over this "humanitarian crisis" but at least granted something long-term should be done about its "drivers" -- a term I vow to substitute for the tedium-inducing "root causes" in future columns. The upside of natural disasters is you can't do much except feel sad for a few days, maybe take some half-measures to save drowning victims as Europe just did, then move on, conscience fumigated.
