Today's dead blog offering draws our attention to the devastating effects of the scourge of war.
It is the now posthumous blog of Andrew Olmsted, who lost his life in Iraq in January 2008 during military service.
Andy had left a post with a friend to be posted on the event of his death which indicates the author did not want his passing to be used as a justification for argument for or against the war on Iraq.
However he does makes a wise and significant comment in his moving last post - "If there is any hope for the long term success of democracy, it will be if people agree to listen to and try to understand their political opponents rather than simply seeking to crush them."
Worthy of framing.
Thanks, K Owusu, for your submission.
