Poppy symbolism

From the Halesowen News, first published Friday 24th Nov 2006.

Is the red poppy meant to symbolise the blood of our fallen heroes on foreign lands who died defending our vital strategic interests around the world?

Or, is it meant to symbolise the blood of the men, women and children who were never asked if they wished to be slaughtered by our heroes to give the rest of their compatriots the blessings of western democracy, consumerism and civilisation from regime change?

Tim Weller, Halesowen
