The Poppy, Then and Now
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,between the crosses row on row...
It's Remembrance Day today and I reflect on the meaning of it all. In the famous WWI poem the poppy symbolized all of the fallen soldiers. Canadian soldiers are once again dying overseas, this time in Afghanistan. However, I doubt similar poems will be written about the poppy fields there. 
To take my mind off a personal craving for my own continued dance with Mary Jane, due to a recent medical operation, I read up on various opinions of the Afghan war. An interesting perspective is given by Craig Murray, who was the British Ambassador to neighboring Uzbekistan from 2002 until 2004.
