    For that matter, everybody letting a half million Muslims spill into Bangladesh is kinda like watching the fire ants run around before India spreads their blanket.

I don't know how much the news is gonna continue to pay attention to this issue, but I think this is gonna be one of those decades long things, though it kind of has been already. The politics are complicated. The economics are complicated. Religion and ethnicity muddies things further.

This whole bit suuucks.
