The very sad news that 6 young British servicemen were killed in Afghanistan this week reminded me of a short war poem I wrote about 30 years ago: I lost my son in a war In a foreign country I never knew before Shot by a snipers gun ... What evil caused it, what had he done? I lost me son in a war How many mothers have said this before?

Firstly I feel sorry for all the innocent people in iraq and afganistan who were killed by this governments(uk) forces, and the american governments forces and secondly yes i do feel sorry for any soldier killed as they were lied to, defending your country is one thing, invading another is another story . They are not heroes though, they are misguided men led by leaders and politicians without consciences, this applies to all countries warring governments.Doctors, firemen, nurses etc are heroes

@coronobog i agree, its not done in my name either. I have sympathy with them because they are young men and it is a waste of life. We have to believe that they are fighting for freedom but how can this be so? Invading another country isnt making the uk or usa safer. I thought the world was supposed to learn from the past wars and world war 1 and 2, i dont see much learning going on. Many have learned though many governments and people havent. Say no to the increase of militarism in the uk.
