Baudelaire and the artists of his age, must of had a relationship to the Crimean war, like wise I look at the war in Iraq and wonder of how I must feel. The feeling's of comradeship must be the same between soldiers now and then, the feelings of remorse at their best friends being killed must be complicit to ones sense of loss and remorse. I use the words of Baudelaire because they still current in emotions.—Anonymous
