We do not comprehend the catastrophic loss of life in Australia. Surely as fires go (and knowing how many of the southern California types must be arsons) the weather and terrain in southeastern Australia should not be more conducive to fatalities.

If these are arsons, they are truly evil; but as we know from rueful experience, evil can be goaded by incompetence.
