Bring out the violins...

The Daily Torygraph ran a lengthy article today about how "prince" William was saddened by the loss of a military comrade of his. Some Teabag toysoldier toots together with three--give or take a couple--of her buddies reportedly drove over a landmine and got themselves blown up. And oh, the lauds, commendations, eulogies and epitaphs that poured out on the Torygraph's site... Read it here. (AVISO: can also be utilized in lieu of potent laxative!)

Gee, someone pass me a tissue coz I done 'gin tuh crah!

O.K, ye say, ulay zeh 7ad miday! Well, I don't think so. Sure, it's heartbreaking to lose a loved one and I am certain the families--notwithstanding their foreknowledge of the risk involved, etc.--have lost their soul. But is this entire exercise not hypocritical and downright despicable? Has the Torygraph ever run a poignant expose on any of the literally tens of thousands of lives lost and hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed directly owing to the actions of the likes of the four exploded ones?

Tragic though as any instance of a life prematurely extinguished is, if the four had not gone into this phoney war to begin with, they'd now be biting chocolate bunnies' ears off.

So, spare us the drama.
