Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed Americans on Wednesday to donate money to flood relief efforts in Pakistan, saying she is leading by example and just made a $10 donation herself.

“I just texted a contribution myself, because we know from our own experience, particularly in Haiti, small donations can add up to make a big difference,” Clinton told reporters on Wednesday.

The flooding is travelling Southward down the Indus River. One of the earliest and hardest hit parts of Pakistan was the Swat Valley in the Northwest Frontier. Saving refugees from flooding is a noble human instinct, something that Americans have always supported whole-heartedly. But the Swat Valley is a stronghold of the Taliban, so after we save them and they dry out, we'll probably go back to kill them anyway.
