Libyan NTC Destroying Commonwealth War Cemetery Benghazi

[Kunal Biswas]

And there will be no world outrage over this, no protests, no more koran burnings or mosques attacked. They have already won. People are too afraid to stand up to these people..

That is what happens when you cut your nose to spite your face!

 

[W.G.Ewald]

The Soldier (War Sonnets No. 5)

If I should die, think only this of me:

That there's some corner of a foreign field

That is for ever England. There shall be

In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;

A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,

Gave, once her flowers to love, her ways to roam,

A body of England's, breathing English air,

Washed by the rivers, blessed by the suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,

A pulse in the eternal mind, no less

Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;

Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;

And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,

In hearts a peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)
