Poor babies... *sad face*

Have been catching up on my blogroll-backlog now that internet is here, and was immediately on to a good thing with Simply 61. Especially her War and Women post, focussing on refugees and women.
Read that, and the PakTeaHouse link she provides.
Tragic among other things.

Consider. We lose electricity for ten minutes and won't stop being a baby about it. We walk in from shopping in the sun, run to the fridge and glug down water with a dramatic flourish. We forget our mobile at home and think it's the end of the world. I'd say we're pretty pathetic.

Consider how some mothers have to leave their kids behind. Lose loved ones or constantly expect to every moment. Live without a home, privacy, pride or hope for who knows how long. I'd say we're pretty pathetic.
