Touchy?
Come live in London. It started in the second world war and has been bombed ever since on a regular basis.

The only way to live with it is humour.

edit/ Coincidently I had a drunken conversation with a Norwegian girl in a pub in Oxford Street on Tuesday.
She had come back from Paris and realised how much damage London had sustained in the war from bombing only after seeing how intact Paris was.

Yes,
but you have to realise that we're kind of sheltered here. The only worry we have about war is how to surrender if the Indonesians suddenly decide they want a bit more land.
