The story makes me remember/think of a South African friend. He left South Africa with his wife and children because they couldn't handle the Apartheid any longer (they are white). When the Apartheid ended and the ANC was running Nelson Mandela for president, he said that he never thought this moment would come in his lifetime, and now that it was finally here he couldn't even vote in it (having not long become Australian citizens).
