Dear Akbar,
° In this symbolic (miao!--English teachers never give it a rest, do they?) prefiguring of the Bush-Saddamite War of the Century, two oathtaking, uniformwearing, welldrilled armed forces are depicted: the British Army, which is fighting and bleeding and dying in order that British plutocrats may continue to lord it over Ireland (and over the British tommy's kith and kin back home); and the Irish Republican Army, which is fighting and bleeding and dying in order that Ireland may be lorded over by Irish plutocrats.
° The only other thing the two armies have in common is that neither has yet heard of "collateral damage." Consequently, both armies murder civilians in plain English.

° Meanwhile, as I assured an unbelieving you three months ago, the Bush-Saddamite War is over. Just this morning I heard on NPR that General Betrajus had fluttered the white flag of unconditional surrender. Quotha: "The Surge is not working."
° So now the U. S. Army joins the American people in begging and beseeching the CommanderinChief to bring back what's left of our defeated forces while there're still some forces to bring back.
° I know you think this reflects badly on the military acumen of our CommanderinChief. The utter, Viet Namlike rout, I mean.
° But no. This too is all part of the Master Plan, and bimeby I shall astound you with the cunning thereof.
