(noon. – promoted by ek hornbeck)
Barcelona Fell, and I was not There
Nor saw shells exploding in air
Nor slipped out with leaders to France
Nor saw Fascists dance a victory dance
Barcelona Fell, and I was not There
To see victors writing Foul as Fair
To hear quiet sobbing in the still of night
To see heads turn from the loss of the fight
Barcelona Fell, and I was not There
A Generation Unborn, I was nowhere
A Generation to come, where will they say
They lament its falling as it fell, today
Only got pushback from one of the diary police at Agent Orange.

¡Ay Carmela! ¡Ay Carmela!Solo es nuestro deseo,

Solo es nuestro deseo,
rumba la rumba la rumba la

¡Ay Carmela! ¡Ay Carmela!En los frentes de Jarama,
rumba la rumba la rumba la.
En los frentes de Jarama,
rumba la rumba la rumba la
no tenemos ni aviones, ni tanques ni cañones,¡Ay Carmela!
no tenemos ni aviones, ni tanques ni cañones,
¡Ay Carmela!Ya salimos de España,
rumba la rumba la rumba la.
Ya salimos de España,
rumba la rumba la rumba la
a luchar en otros frentes,¡Ay Carmela! ¡Ay Carmela!
a luchar en otros frentes,
¡Ay Carmela! ¡Ay Carmela!

…what was to come. And seeing, they took action. The Abraham Lincoln Brigadeers should be praised and never forgotten for taking early action against the tide of evil which was about to sweep across Europe and the planet.
You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right.”

… its not a diary.
Like at Agent Orange.
OTOH, its only the one, most of the comments at Agent Orange are quite nice, plus a number of good YouTube clips.
