What is the psychological effect of war on refugees?

It depends on what the war is about.  If the war is to free them from a socialist dictator then they might be extremely happy that it's happening.  Thus they feel sad that they have to leave their home, but are happy to return when the tyrant is taken out and freedom is returned to their homeland.\n\nBut if the tyrant is taking over their free country, they'd probably want to stay and fight for their freedom.  In which case they wouldn't be a refugee at all.

(1) Ecomonical cost of war, very expensive.\n(2) Human cost, you can not replace this.\n(3) Infastrucal rebuilding (after the war)\n(4) The politcal fall out, power shifts as a direct result of war\n(5) The moral ground or loss of it.\n(6) Occupation from the invading army.\n(7) Destruction of every facet of human social framework.\n(8) Long time effets (i.e. unknown disadvantages)\n\nI hope that helps\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

You can think of a war as a really big bar fight.  A couple people fight over something and it escalates to the parking lot.  The next morning they have a vague idea on what they fought about but they really remember how much they hate that other guy, so tensions last for a bit after that.  Eventually they have a beer together and have a good laugh.  They laugh how they can't believe how they fought over [insert one of the following: girl, oil, land, or religion]

of course.  you will never know the reality of life outside the US until you go.  especially if you are out to defend our country.  Some people can assimilate upon return but some cant.  It just gives you to much of a different perspective. \n\nwho ever said never heard of it effecting someone in a negative way?  you must not have seen your father sitting in the corner of his bedroom screaming to get the vc with the grenade.  How can the threat of dying everyday you wake up not effect you negative? and no he didnt crack, he was 18 years old with people shooting at him.  read up there are 1000s of stories of the things vet of foreign wars go through.  and remember them when you see someone in the military.  They put their lives on the line for you to be here.  never forget that.

Unfortunately, most borders are decided by war.

two or more groups who disagree with each other soo much that they send their citizens to kill each other over the disagreement. \nwar can be physical, like fighting/combat, or psychological, propaganda against the 'enemy' or instilling fear(think the Cold War) into the public.\n\nHow can you know peace without war, the opposite must be known to appreciate the other.

People get upset because we expect so much more from our own people.  We are the liberators, the good guys.  We should not be lowering ourselves to the standards of our enemies.\n\nOur boys and girls are doing one HELLUVA job in Afganistan and Iraq, but they are only human.  Mistakes can/will be/have been made.\n\nAlso, war brings out the worst and best in people.  Some folks make mistakes, other revel in the bloodshed.

The victums feel guilty in our society we have a way of making them defend themselves and their actions instead of blaming the perpetrators. For instance why were you at that place at that time of day. And the askers are the protectors of our society. It would be very difficult to answer after being traumatized.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

War and conflict drove people away.

When I was in Iraq, I didn't have any combat experiences, but we were mortared/rocketed a lot, dealt with VBIEDs and IEDs, etc.  I too was jumpy when I first got home, but only for a couple of months.  I was pretty irritable for awhile, but now I am back to my "normal" level of crankiness.  I had a lot of problems sleeping -- it took me a long time to fall asleep at night and I was tired most days.  That has also resolved.

No. But my best friend is a Kurdish Iraqi, and she spent 4 months there last year. She had her ups and downs. But what speaks volumes is that she saw her family's oil being taken by US officials with her own two eyes. (she comes from a wealthy family and they have lots of that). She was also staying in a mansion made of marble but there wasn't even any water to flush the toilets with. Pretty depressing.

Depression made people realize that government needed to control the economy (stocks and so on)\n\nWorld War II allowed the president to move troops around?\n\nand the Cold War allowed the president to play with our money and baad weapons O.o\n\nI think...

No.  Can't think that self-actualization came into play in that war.  Perhaps safety needs were the main focus for those that were fighting.

Terrorism has obviously made a difference because Refugees are now suspected not pitied . Take two cases\n\n1.Palestinian refugees took shelter in nearby islamic country's only to regroup & wage war against Isreal but in the process of doing so they instablised the country of the refuge . Since then , many Nieghbours of Palestine hasitate to accept Refugees fearing trouble .\n\n2. The terrorists of Sri Lanka(LTTE) , Bangladesh(LET) and Tibet(Maoist) have highly infilterated the international border along with innocent refugees and passed into India and are causing armed rebellion in the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh , Manipur , Mizoram & even Jammu & Kashmir . India has sinced warned the Govt's of these states to take matters into thier hands failing which could lead to undesired consequences ( maybe even war )\n\nThus , Terrorism is a cause for concern in Refugee movement and international relations

In the 1991 war, 382 died and 467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\nIn the 2003 war and the following occupation, 2,325 died and 17,467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\n\nThat's not bad at all.
