I'll be honest, I don't hold the view that I put forward, just bits of it, but I did it to show Dhanesh that just as that that extreme view is naive and hasty, so is his. I know Iraq didn't attack you, but the man who masterminded it was strongly linked with the Taliban regime (Afghanistan, I know, I meant it though).
Why I'm defending the Americans I don't know, you should be good enough at doing that yourselves. But I get really angry about the way the British troops are treated, despite the shitty situation they've found themselves in.
In my defence, I'm not hostile to the poem *because* it's about Iraq. I'm hostile to the view put forward in it though. Similarly, if I read a poem saying 'kill the Jews' I'd write a similarly derogatory comment, not because the poem's about antisemitism, but because I disagree entirely with its theme.
Anyway, this wasn't really meant to lead to an argument. Peace?
