One last piece for this day
As it wasn't, after all, the "War to end all wars" I wonder if some of the leaders of the world might like to muse on this piece by Kipling before they decide to send others to war for a cause that THEY personally will never have to pay for.
A Dead Statesman
"I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?"

Gawd I'm a melancholy old cove at times eh ?
