| Remembrance Day 1998: There is nothing we can do for the dead but to honour their memory and deny that they died unnecessarily; it would be mean to question the wisdom of our decisions to send them to war, now that it is too late to bring them back. But this should not deflect our critical judgement of future wars -- today we should also spare a moment to remember in advance the possible sacrifices of our sons and daughters, now healthy and happy, in the glorious patriotic wars of the future.
