She came tonight as I sat alone.. The girl I used to be.... And she gazed at me with her earnest eye And questioned reproachfully:
Have you forgotten the many plans And hopes I had for you? The great career,the splendid fame, all the wonderful things to do?
Where is the mansion of stately height With all its gardens rare? The silken robes that I dreamed for you And the jewels in your hair?
And as she spoke, I was very sad For I wanted her pleased with me... This slender girl from the shadowy past The girl that I used to be.
So gently rising, I took her hand And guided her up the stairs Where peacefully sleeping, my babies lay Innocent, sweet, and fair.
And I told her that these are my only gems, And precious they are to me; That silken robes is my motherhood Of costly simplicity.
And my mansion of stately height is love, And the only career I know Is serving each day in these sheltered walls For the dear ones who come and go
And as I spoke to my shadowy guest, She smiled through her tears at me. And I saw the woman that I am now Pleased the girl I used to be.

THE GIRL I USED TO BE

She came tonight as I sat alone...
The girl I used to be....
And she gazed at me with her earnest eye
And questioned reproachfully:

Have you forgotten the many plans
And hopes I had for you?
The great career,the splendid fame,
all the wonderful things to do?

Where is the mansion of stately height
With all its gardens rare?
The silken robes that I dreamed for you
And the jewels in your hair?

And as she spoke, I was very sad
For I wanted her pleased with me...
This slender girl from the shadowy past
The girl that I used to be.

So gently rising, I took her hand
And guided her up the stairs
Where peacefully sleeping, my babies lay
Innocent, sweet, and fair.

And I told her that these are my only gems,
And precious they are to me;
That silken robes is my motherhood
Of costly simplicity.

And my mansion of stately height is love,
And the only career I know
Is serving each day in these sheltered walls
For the dear ones who come and go

And as I spoke to my shadowy guest,
She smiled through her tears at me.
And I saw the woman that I am now
Pleased the girl I used to be.

Guardian: Fatal Errors that lead to massacre
British Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, rejected calls from Amnesty International for an inquiry into the killing of hundreds of Taleban prisoners - who staged an uprising near the Afghan city of Mazar-e- Sharif - as “unnecessary and impossible”.
Journalists who have visited the fortress describe a scene of horror, with the corpses of hundreds of Taleban fighters scattered across a courtyard. The Northern Alliance put an end to an uprising with the help of US airstrikes and US and British special forces. (BBC + agencies)
Should there be an inquiry?

Yes (to answer the question) but it’s not going to happen without significant international pressure (not least from within the ‘coalition’) and everyone is keeping their heads down. Last night Dutch Defence Minister Frank de Grave -overexcited schoolboy out of his depth- conveniently refused even to pass judgement on reports a massacre for lack of ‘clear information’. The US coverage seems only interested in the death of the CIA operative.
Blair’s emphasis on International Justice is to his credit, but I agree it could backfire on him. The NA seem an unstable, opportunistic coalition of opium dealing warlords, as likely to turn on each other as accept a UN backed regime. If reports of further atrocities emerge the moral rhetoric (+ I agree he’s sincere) will be left looking shabby and self-serving. And what next, a ‘March on Baghdad’? Schröder and Jospin have publicly poured cold water on the idea but could a triumphant Dubya resist?
Some ‘blowback through the spread of international courts’ would be most welcome. The butchers of Rwanda and Yugoslavia may make easier targets but the rise of ‘International Justice’ as a meaningful concept is to be supported. Louise Arbour, the former International War Crimes Tribunal's chief prosecutor became my personal heroine when she indicted Milosevic. As Human Rights Watch correctly observe, “Until recently, it seemed that if you killed one person, you went to jail, but if you slaughtered thousands, you usually got away it. Times change”. I love the fact Belgium/Israeli relations are complicated by Arial Sharon being a wanted man in Belgium for the Sabra and Shatilla massacres.

radical Islam, and the ‘Arab Street’ (a term I’m uncomfortable with) , come to view Mazar-i-Sharif as a US/UK backed war crime it will surely fester. Bloody Sunday is a well-chosen comparison. The effect of those killings ensured violent Irish republicanism received moral and physical support for more than a generation. An immediate open and independent enquiry into the Paratroopers actions may not have healed the wounds but the botched cover-ups only exasperated them.
The fall of Srebrenica is another case where wounds fester needlessly through lack of openness and ability to face up to uncomfortable truths. What should be a weeping sore on the conscious of the UN, the ‘International Community’, and especially my own adopted homeland, is now largely forgotten. Close to 8,000 slaughtered and there is still a shameful reluctance to reveal the whole truth concerning what happened and identify all those who were responsible, either actively or complicitly” href="http://ds.dial.pipex.com/srebrenica.justice/ ">Sebrenica Justice Campaign
