The Injustice of Having to Leave Your Country is Overwhelming

"The problem is that we don't even know if we'll ever see this stuff again. We don't know if whatever we leave, including the house, will be available when and if we come back. There are moments when the injustice of having to leave your country, simply because an imbecile got it into his head to invade it, is overwhelming. It is unfair that in order to survive and live normally, we have to leave our home and what remains of family and friends ... And to what?"

Quote from Riverbend, author of Bagdad Burning blog, talking about leaving her home in Iraq.
