Notes	The speaker of the poem is in a pub in Dingle and strikes up a conversation with some anti-Bush Americans. Their being anti-Bush causes the speaker to 'declare a celebration'. They discuss the war and the dead in Iraq. Affected, the speaker leaves the pub, into the wretched, windy weather - which acts as pathetic fallacy in the poem.
