>Not to make light of the situation in your country but here is something that happened a few years ago. We have a good friend from Argentina who went to see the play "Evita". The next day she was asked, "How did you like Evita"? Her answer, "I was there for the original"! Being there when such an event occurs cannot be described.

Exactly the old Bosnian joke:

Q: Have you read "The bridge on Drina" /the Nobel-prize winning novel by Ivo Andrich/

A: What, read? Walked over it!

And as to making light of the situation, that is the privilege of those who are in the middle of that situation. It may go as far as "Bombardujte, ili da kreèimo" ("bomb, or we paint [the walls]"), which appeared as a grafitto during the first bombing threats, five months before the real one.
