When I was off just now doing a virus check I watched an old repeat interview with the Prime Minister of Bosnia.
He said that in the early days of the conflict when he was trying to gather supporrt for the Moslems he found it surrealistic to be one moment in Bosnia where they had no water, no electricity and no food and an hour later by plane, be in Paris where people were living normal lives.
He went on to say that when he looked into people's eyes he could see that they were more unhappy than those he had left behind.
And finally he quoted something he had always read about but had never witnessed...
"Empty hearts are more dangerous than empty pockets..."
True how very true.
