Notes The speaker of the poem lambasts the countries involved in the Iraq War, notably America and the United Kingdom. The speaker also includes Ireland in his castigation (which has allowed Shannon Airport to be used as a warplane layover during the War on Terror). The previous Gulf War is hinted at, as well as the speaker's opinions about the Jewish people (Israel) who request help frequently from the Western World, usually in war efforts against Islamic countries.
