→Drought: just a thought and some hunger
::One problem with this article is that its skimming very close to the line (if it's not already over it) of thinking it's a newspaper article giving a running commentary. Some of the issues mentioned are most likely largely irrelevant in an overall look at the PM, and merely seem important because they are current and therefore prominent at the moment. At least the points EQ mentioned are clearly matters that are major incidents in the PM's career.

::: I think perhaps one needs to see that there is a difference between a flood and a drought being over. A drought is a prolonged period of time with less than average rainfall that leads to the general water availability to a particular area to be decreased significantly (definition made up on the spot) while a flood is a momentary sudden increase in water in an area due to heavy downpours. You can have a flood in the middle of a drought and the drought continues - what is needed is consistent rain over a prolonged period of time, not a heavy shower. PS Kazumaru, can I have a pie with that sauce ASAP? --[[User:Bilby|Bilby]] 18:19, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
