Sadly, the Kiwi editorial is pretty close to the bone, if only for a few - but a very noticeable few.
And while we´re ``lest we forgetting`` and damning everyone but us WASPs, it may be worth noting that the admirable words on the ANZAC and Wellington memorials were written by a Muslim, (admittedly a secular one), and that there are an awful lot of Muslims out there today who are as horrified by what the crazies are getting up to in the name of their religion as we WASPs are.
It may also be worth visiting how Mustapha Kamal came to write that (IMHO pretty damn fine) speech now inscribed on those memorials: in 1934, a group of Australian (and New Zealand? - not sure of that) mothers whose sons had been killed at ANZAC made one of the first visits by private citizens from Oz and NZ to the Gallipoli battlefields and Ataturk was told he ought to acknowledge them by at least turning up and welcoming them.
In his car on the way, one of his aides suggested that he might be expected to say a few words, so Ataturk literally scribbled those few lines on the back of an envelope. There was no time for the political and protocol professionals to get at it and sanitise it, so what we got were his own words with no professional filter.
I hate to think of the colourless pap the final product would have become had his handlers had a few days to play with it.
