You have been at war for a year now, and death must have touched virtually every family in your country. Your struggle reminds me of Sarajevo, where I first experienced war as a journalist in 1993. The Bosnian Serb army had besieged the beautiful Bosnian capital, and ordinary citizens—many just teenagers—learned to use the tools of war to defend their families and homes.
The situation was both noble and tragic, inspiring and sad. It made me want to be Sarajevan.
