Long ago, in the story where Western armies were noble liberators and
Iraqi citizens their grateful hosts, British soldiers were warned of
the unthinkable. In an eve-of-battle address, Lieutenant Colonel Tim
Collins, of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment, told his
troops of the fate that would befall anyone who took a life in vain. He
had known such men, he said, and they lived with the mark of Cain upon
them.
