British troops waiting to attack Iraq have been told to behave like liberators rather than conquerors. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] anotheranon for posting the link to this; I've passed it along to several others.

"We go to liberate not to conquer. We will not fly our flags in their country," he said.

"We are entering Iraq to free a people and the only flag which will be flown in that ancient land is their own. Show respect for them. [...]"

And it gets better from there. Go. Read.

That was beautiful. Would that U.S. troops have gotten the same kind of send-off speech --I understand that the U.S. flag was flying (briefly) over Umm Qsar. What arrogance we display...
