AUSTRALIA HONOURS SOLDIER WHO KILLED HIMSELF TO SAVE IRAQ

Australia's 70 year old PM John Howard added new soldiers to the list of the countries war dead today.

"It is fitting that on Remembrance Day we honour our Iraqi War Dead who died to protect Iraq and us. One shot himself and the other was in someone else’s army,"

"Our fight in Iraq is another chapter in our countries proud military history of doing what other bigger countries tell us to do. From South Africa to Gallipoli to Iraq, we will continue to snivel and grovel before our betters."

At the end of the ceremony they blew their bugles and all went home.

    Did the plucky little Wreath-laying Weasel piss on the Oz war-dead, like he does to most living war-veterans?

    :Pinched this poem from comments at Leninology :
    thought it relevant...

    At the Cenotaph

    I saw the Prince of Darkness, with his Staff,

    Standing bare-headed by the Cenotaph :

    Unostentatious and respectful, there

    He stood, and offered up the following prayer.

    'Make them forget, O Lord, what this Memorial

    Means; their discredited ideas revive;

    Breed new belief that War is purgatorial

    Proof of pride and power of being alive;

    Men's biologic urge to readjust

    The Map of Europe, Lord of Hosts, increase;

    Lift up their hearts in large destructive lust;

    And crown their heads with blind vindictive Peace.'

    The Prince of Darkness to the Cenotaph

    Bowed. As he walked away I heard him laugh.


    Siegfried Sassoon
