Seriously, how many kids have died from thirst, starvation, or disease curable with under $10 of medication worldwide in the time it’s taken to try to rescue the kids from that cave?

But people love a spectacle. And heroics. So we just have to figure out how to make mosquito netting seem spectacularly heroic...

Sure, but was money diverted from mosquito netting programs to pay for this rescue? It certainly doesn't seem that way. Rather it the resources seem to have mostly come from the Thai military.

Why weren't you asking the Thai military to divert its resources to mosquito netting programs last week?
