Oh please, we need you.

Our beloved President recently came up with the idea of gathering up our long lost brethren, the väliseestlased, and bringing them back to our fold. Why not, we need to stick together, otherwise we will be overrun by bigger and badder peoples. There is just one problem, the audience and old and frail, their children have been assimilated and the invitations repeated annually. Despite being a noble cause, I can't help but to be reminded of this. Too bad that our meager resources are spent on lost causes. All those, who wanted to return have already done so during the last 15 years or so.

Besides, if history takes another nasty turn, we could use the support of our emigre community. If we all stay here, it would be easy to take charge. Shouldn't it be a good idea to build up a supportive community overseas while we still can? Instead of recalling them, we should send more people down there, to keep the flame alive.
