Thread Name: BS: Back in the sixties
Subject: RE: BS: Back in the sixties
It's all good stuff,
How many songs have come out of wars - really good songs and what about the poetry - especially teh first war - I think my brain may still be in the sixties just my body has moved on (or is it outwards).
One thing I spotted above was the religious theme - How many deaths and wars has that caused - War never works thats where we all came from - Look at Argentina and The Falklands - Yup - UK will never give up sovereignty but we are now talking to the Argentinians about their future - how many men died to arrive at this conclusion over 20 years later.
Fortunately Saddam does not have Hitlers (or Billy Grahams) Gift of oratory or the world would eb in danger.
Funny how everything gets back to the Iraq situation at present.
The soldiers - bless em - have trained for years for thsi and must be very confused now as we don't want em to do it. Bl**dy Hippes the lot of us! Even if we do have Jobs houses and Kids!!!!
