Where have all the flowers gone...

Ironic that the inquiry into the war in Iraq opened on the same day as the funeral of Henry Allingham, the veteran of the First World War who spent the last years of his long life using his experiences to try and convince others - particularly children - of the futility of war. As he said "War's stupid. Nobody wins. You might as well talk first, you have to talk last anyway." Listen and learn - except that we don't, do we?
