Bad news
I sometimes feel I'm living in a nightmare, This morning I turned to the RTE teletext news pages where my attention was drawn to one particular item:
38 TALEBAN KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN
Now I know that the Taleban are a group of bastards, but bastards they may be, but as my late mother would have said each one of those 38 had a father and a mother, probably still alive and grieving for their son. It is also likely that they were married and had children, This act, which has an air of the celebratory about it, has created a whole new raft of widows, not to mention children burning with hatred and a desire to revenge the deaths of their fathers. Sadly, when (and I say when not if) this comes to pass, the people who will suffer will also be innocent by-standers, not the puffed-up war-mongers and the poodles like Blair and Bush.
