The article begins:
"I don't support war, but I support my son"
How does a father feel when his son goes to war?
This man says he is opposed to military action in
Iraq, but to protest would be to betray his
21-year-old-son, who has sailed to the Gulf with
the Royal Marines

I recently read a nearly identical article originating in the US.
"I've always been a pacifist, but now..." ....kind of like
Peaceniks Anonymous or something. I'm waiting for an article that
starts-"My son enlisted and I think he's a fucking idiot," but I don't
expect to see it real soon.

"I'm in the unusual position of being for the war, but against
the troops"  -  Bill Hicks

btw this Friday Bill Maher will return to television with a new
show on HBO
