    Robert Fisk writing on the British troop withdrawal from Iraq.

    I watched (tried to) the handing over ceremony on TV, but nausea overcame me for the stinking hypocritical pomposity of this sad colonial masquerade. As if this war was somehow just and legitimate.

    Any comments?

    Remain aware, so that this type of sh@t does not happen again.

    So that when soldiers parade around at handover ceremonies, as if they are all "heroes", we know what actually happened and what they allowed to take place.

    Bells, would you like to comment on Iran`s "injustice" to children?

    In the USA we still haven't the slightest situational awareness; we're still most content collectively pretending that we're the Good Guys in a Technicolor movie.

    What a load of utter BS. These politicians cannot find the humanity in themselves to be honest.

    It is amazing how quickly the lessons of history are forgotten.
