i was thinking places like iraq afghanistan palestine etc.. you hear about them being bombed or attacked every second day. do the ordinary citizens lead a normal life? like can you roam around in the city safely? how does it change? like the bombing of beirut airport .. i was wondering how normal ordinary people deal with it...

There is usually a palpable fear and tension in these places. Normal life is disrupted. School, work places and social life almost come to a standstill. People generally want to flee such places. Even while sleeping at night, no one is truly at rest. The next bomb may hit your roof.
Families want to stay together. So everyone can be accounted for.
War brings out the worst in human cruelty and suffering. But also the best in courage and human endurance and survival.

I've never lived in a war-torn country (unless you consider the US a war-torn country in a social/economic way), but my heart goes out to those who have.
