After having been in the sands of SWA three times including Afghanistan I can understand. It is indeed hard to go there and not be touched; coming home and seeing how blessed we here truly are and yet we still let things get to us, never seemingly satisfied, always wanting more.

If everyone could live a while in one of these countries maybe there would be a better global or comprehensive understanding of the plight of others around the world.

Just my .02cf worth.
