but nah, fortunately that hasnt happened to me and i dont know anyone else from places in eastern europe where there was/still is alot of turmoil
the ethnic cleansing in the 90's was particularly brutal. alot of survivors did choose to emigrate simply because they lost everything.
i remember at school we used to have food drives and other charity stuff to send help to people in bosnia who were orphaned or made homeless by the war. we had to bring in tinned stuff and other things that would last a long time. i think charity organisation did alot more than sh*tty NATO peacekeeping who were tied down by too much red tape.
