Every life lost in war deserves same respect

The erection of the Wall of Remembrance in Glasnevin cemetery in Dublin, opened last week, has already provoked some hostile comment.

It looks like the famous Vietnam Wall in Washington DC. The names are inscribed on a polished black granite surface so that those standing at the wall sees their own reflection in the background. That is a poignant reminder that they could so easily be among the names, which really applies to any war.
