Luna, If there was a hell I would like to think that there is a special place in it for thick bureaucratic shitforbrains that try to enforce rules during such circumstances. We Canadians had our ow special brand of like-minded shitheads during this horrendous episode. Several Canadians vacationing in that part of the world lost everything they owned and yet consular officials insisted that they had to pay a replacement fee for lost visas. It did not occur to these simple fools that if they had money they probably would still have their visas. Even the Americans whose government is obsessed with security flew out their citizens without the required papers. Our government officials back here used the feeble excuse that it was the holiday season and senior officials were not available to make necessary changes. Those out there in the field were just following orders. Where have I heard that before?
