Canada buried another soldier from the mess in Afghanistan yesterday (Jamie Murphy). Interestingly enough, our Prime Minister found the time to go to the funeral. Even more interesting, I note that this morning's New York Times showed the picture, but cut out the Prime Minister. Perhaps this is to keep from embarrassing George W. who still does not think it fitting to attend the funerals of American soldiers from Afghanistan or Iraq or some other of the messes on his watch.
