Very sad what is happening there right now. I know an Afghani lady who came with her parents on the "children overboard" ship. They have gone from living in hope for freedom for their relatives over there to instantly returning to the Dark Ages.

Thanks, mate. Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious. I can sleep much easier tonight.
