Hats off to Duke University students, some of whom hail from Pakistan, who aren’t letting the needs of the Pakistani people be forgotten in the wake of devastating floods. They’re raising money and trying to ensure that Americans don’t ignore the suffering and leave the job of aide exclusively to government. I encourage you to read the story. It’s another good example of individuals stepping up to help simply because it’s the right thing to do, no matter the legitimate questions about whether, in terms of the war on terror, the Pakistani government is friend or foe.
