Among other things, they speak to the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland. And he has this to say on the subject...
"War's stupid," he said. "Nobody wins. You might as well talk first, you have to talk last anyway."
Too true.

"Very well. So you stand revealed at last. You are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another." - V, V For Vendetta.

I'm at least half convinced Banksy had that speech in mind when he did this, too. :)

I see reports like this and I worry.

Yes, I know it's not my country. But my country's currently being led by a bunch of morally flexible invertebrates who seem only too happy to follow wherever America leads (yes, we're hoping to get rid of them too... but that might take a little bit longer). And I think Kerry is likely to lead them - and the rest of us - in a much better direction than Bush.

Edit: even Republican Senator (and Vietnam veteran) John McCain is saying this is rubbish. But that's likely to get a lot less publicity than the initial mudslinging, isn't it?
