POPSThe poor pay the most No matter what the nature of loss, either natural disaster or acts of terrorism and war, it is always the poor that pay the most. The rich have more insulation in the form of greater resources, often more dispersed in the economy and geographically. A poor person has one house, a rich person may have multiple houses, more likely to be insured against loss. The poor also don't have the same means of escaping danger as the rich do. They can't flee the country, they can't fly away on a plane, or speed away in their cars.

POPS‘Chicago Man’ Charged In Mumbai Attacks a Pakistani-based militant group. New charges also were unsealed today against a retired major in the Pakistani military, Abdur Rehman, accusing him of conspiracy in planning an attack on a Danish newspaper and some of its employees. Headley and another Chicago man, Tahawwur Hussain Rana, were initially arrested in the Denmark case, charged with plotting an attack on the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten out of revenge for a dozen cartoons printed in 2005 depicting the prophet Muhammad. Rana has denied involvement in a terror plot. Authorities said Headley has been cooperating with investigators since FBI agents arrested him at O’Hare in October. A somewhat misleading headline. But it is even more troubling that we allowed someone like this in our country. http://bit.ly/8eUQuP Sweetness N Light blog Related Articles: * How Pakistan’s ISI Supports The Taliban * Laugh Riot: Muslims Worry About Image * Report: Mumbai Hostages
