I suppose there is some sort of deep dramatic irony that today is Memorial day in the USA, and that I should be writing a blog about a very strange story coming out of Peru last week. Memorial day, for those outside the USSA, is the day traditionally set aside for people to honor the military and especially those who lost their lives defending the country.  The irony for me is that while I have no doubt that my father, an uncle, and my two grandfathers did their time in the service in the two World Wars, and did so in good faith that they were indeed “defending freedom,” the irony now is I rather suspect they would all be looking at the state of the country today, and wondering why they did.
