A win for humanity

This image has made me tear up with conflicting emotions.

It is incredibly sad that tens of thousands of Afghanis are having to flee and leave behind their homes and possessions (and family and friends) to escape the Taliban.

But heart warming to see the common humanity as the crew of the Globemaster decided to stuff the rules and relegations and help as many as possible.

This would be a good time for New Zealand to announce we will take in a special quota of say 1,000 refugees from Afghanistan.
