What's This War About Mar 5th 2011
Can we afford to be involved in an ongoing war?
It must be very expensive and what ever for?
Oh, I know, human rights in a far away insignificant place,
And all the politically correct all want to show their face.
Alexander the Great went to Afghanistan and came back,
Even then it was obvious that strange place was way out of whack,
Does anyone know whether we are winning or loosing there?
Why do I count coffins on the Highway of Heroes in this affair?
Canadians need binding referendums like the Swiss,
Maybe then we could impress the politicians about this,
Did the UN get us into this and who can get us out?
Am I the only one to wonder what this is all about?
