Worse than refugees?

While reading a newspaper (Daily Yomiuri, Japan) yesterday I came across a picture of an unveiled picture of a young Afghan lady showing her voter ID in her hand with a gleaming smile. It read that she was casting her vote for the first time in a general election. No wonder! But, she was in a refugee camp somewhere in Pakistan. I felt completely awed. A country torn apart in by every kind of chaos and disarray. But, albeit, they are at least ahead in an important aspect of the rights of its citizens. Probably this is a direct influence of the American command in Afghanistan. Yet, those refugees having cast their vote for their election home will have better reasons to fight over the leadership in future, and who knows, this simple sense of pride might trigger their journey home a bit quicker.

And where do we stand? The people of the country who are living abroad with a green passport, how are we linked to our country other than the relatives and the near ones that we left behind. The expatriates do remit a large amount of money, but it is indeed for the same. Isn't it time they include the expatriates, who are still with the home passport be allowed the voting right, since, to my knowledge, there isn't a place on earth where we do not have an elegant branch of our leading political parties. I wonder what these people fight over from such far away places when they even don't have the very basic right, whatsoever.
