THE recent predicament of the open travel to USA with unrestricted return within 72 hours reminds me of a childhood rhyme:

For the want of a nail a shoe was lost

For the want of a shoe a horse was lost

For the want of a horse a soldier was lost

For the want of a soldier a battle was lost

For the want of a battle a War was lost

All for the want of a horseshoe nail!

And so we sit in abject subjugation and humility.

God help us in our hour of need.!
