The most irritating part about this is the fact the leaders who orchestrated this invasion are perfectly safe in their homes along with their families. They started something that flipped people's lives upside down, but for them, nothing has changed at all.
They sent soldiers to fight their wars and are hiding in their expensive houses. Leaders should be forced to participate in wars if they are so keen on starting one, many of them won't be so fast to take that decision if their lives are at stake.
