The USA kills for its own desires Innocent, women, children & elders USA want, stays unsatisfied with murder Thus ridiculing its own vast power "We The People" are fooled incessantly Continually, day after day, repeatedly Mass media swarms & supports any Military event,itself in a stringent captivity It's the way we citizens continue to ride Illegal invasions & the millions person genocides Wake up America to the horrible but true! Yes, to stop it, there's much we can do.
Thank you Colin for putting this up. I was saddened when Saddam was hanged. He may have been an evil man, but he was human, and felt fear I am sure, and people forget that. Thank you
Its time to get back to the principle of liberty in this country and return to the non interventionist policies of our founders. We must set an example for the rest of the world rather than try and force our values on everyone else. You cannot force someone to be a better person. All you can do is try to be the best person you can and live your life with faith, so others will see good in you. That is the true way to spread freedom and liberty in the world. Liberty will unite us all together.
most of you are missing the point of this song.....it's an attempt to explain Saddam's feelings about his life and the world not a justification of ANY political creed.
If you do not agree with the yanks version of democracy then they will kill you!! and things wo'nt change with the new puppet that is been placed in power.
not all men are the same, not all leaders either no matter what country they lead, even if it's the same one. Such is one of the few beauties of the US
Well sounds like we are going to have kill all the Canadians. Piece of cake. I'm in Texas linamar. Come on down and start kicking pussies. You'll just looooove us Texans. Heh.......heh.......heh.
Deaths in Iraq have decreaesed by 2/3 since last. They're still very high but it is getting better. I just hope the Iraqis will be able to cope when the Yanks pull out.
Intothelookingglass, we have a choice to make. We can choose to kill those who are murdering innocent people or we can choose to allow them to continue to murder innocent people. You make the choice, Into. The lives of the innocent are now in your hands. Do they live or die ? Choose.
This is so stupid. You want to defend a butcher and judge half of the world as if you're God. But what if someone tried to kill someone in your own family? What would YOU do then?
I should clarify: PINKOSKULL, your spider-and-fly analogy is irrelevant. Flies are useful in the natural cycle. I'm not saying it's useful to execute criminals, but it's a simple fact that Saddam evoked vicious cruelties against his own people, and an IRAQI COURT convicted him. My Iraqi friend, a doctor living in Iraq, will say the same. Her only variance is that Saddam's sons and cronies were even more cruel than him. Don't let moral intellectualism and twisted analogies cloud simple reality.
But we did not chose. The constitution states that the people through our elected officials in congress have the power to declare war. This clear restriction on the executive branch was ignored and we went to war without the approval of the congress.
When will the American people stand up and fight for the constitution and our civil liberties? "A society that will give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both." Ben Franklin
So far as the song. Colin, you are spot on. No man deserves to die, regardless of what he has done. It is time to move away from this oudated biblical adage of 'an eye for an eye'. Someone please explain the logic of murdering someone for murder???
How many orcs did Aragorn and Gandalf slaughter, yet we are supposed to consider them "heroes" and Sauron and Saruman are "villains". As usual, the winners right the history books.*
Anyway, I like your music and at least your heart is in the right place...
That is ridiculous, aragorn and gandalf slaughter the orcs because they were the emodiments of evil created by melkor. If they did not every living creature on middle earth would suffer. What aragorn and gandalf did, risking their lifes in order to save others is, as far as i am concerned, heroic and thus i would consider them heroes. And frodo wrote the history of the war of the rings, prey tell, what did he win?
Actually, I was using the LOTR metaphor because Colin is obviously a fan (as am I). Aragorn and Gandalf are heroes. We do not simplistically equate them with Sauron just because "they both killed people". Saddam's execution was botched, but if the Iraqi people were ever to feel safe again, he had to be permanently and irrevocably removed from the picture.
Not all Iraqis agreed with saddams removal. Is it up to America to enforce justice ( loosly speaking)? Is Iraq any better of now, then when saddam was in power? What has been achieved from his death? I do not believe there is any justification for murder.
The Army of Mordor were coming to kill their wives and children, you cant capture all the orcs and easterlings, for Gandalf and Argorn, it was the orcs or their friends.
Colin, what can I say I only just discovered your music, Suddenly I wish you would release a CD. he first song I listened to was "Lament for Gandalf" and I havn't been able to get enough since.
ignoring someone who only wants to know you have learned from your mistakes and will not act violently in the future is also - you know - a form of violence
and yes, it does bring, even invite - violence from the side of the person that got hurt in the past and does not want to see such pain for others in the future ;)
No one derserves this. People likme Saddam or even Bush. Should be given the choice of to freely and truely join a monastic life or commit sucide. Only then if they completely refuse both then they can be excuted. But only though a means such as life imprisonment in a dugeon untill they starve to death. stranded naked in a desert or walking the plank. Other then that Capitol punishment is just plain wrong.
... last but not least, Put your feet in the shoe of any mother or father that missed her son or doughter, or the wife that missed her husband or family,and we are talking about round a million killed from Iraqies and thousands of Americans and allied forces. all for a lies of THE CRIMINALS OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND 10th DOWNING STREET.. IT'S A SHAM, IT'S A SHAM. IT'S A SHAM.
i'm not against american people or America as a great country everyone on this earth has benefeted from its usfull development in scince and technology but i'm against those small leaders who couldn't find reasons but the lies to invade an independent and inecent country, its not any kind of hunor for an army having all these cababilities like u.s. army to show their muscles over a poor people in a thaird world country like Iraq.>> cont.
i just want to say that the history wont forgive the killers at the white house and 10th downing street. a country like Iraq and with the great culture cann't disappear without any consequences, the land will fight for its own people but the song wont do that and the time between us and those criminals and there supporter.
shit song shit voice ugly face Saddam Hussain will live in our hearts forever Saddam the lion of iraq who got defeated by terrorists like Muqtata al sadadar is that what you call justice old man
I like that you said there He's done terrible things but he is stil He's done terrible things but he is still a man sentenced to die.Others just as evil are free to do what they like...justice is a stranger in a world of hype and lies. ... (more) (less)
your must be Socialistjust like me! keep up the good work
Socialism strips liberty and the freedom to chose from the individual man. Liberty is the principle we must stand on. Socialism/Progressiveism holds the good of the collective over the rights of the individual. Power over the people is always corrupted and used for evil, no matter who holds it. We must return to what is constitutional and give power back to the individual. If we held to the constitution, we would not be in Iraq at all, because only congress holds the power to declare war.
In fact, we can go back to the start of the progressive movement and Woodrow Wilson to see the consequences. Look at how Wilson pushed the US into WW1. Did you know there were thousands of people imprisoned here in the us for speaking out against going to war? There were even ads advocating neighbors spy on each other and report to the justice dept. for simply disagreeing with the war. Is this the world you want to live in? Because, I fear that you will have it.. probably very soon.
I can't find "A lion never dies" on Utube. Finally found out it was about a soccer player. We Merkins just don't get it. Thank the Goddess (or Al Gore) for the WWW.
What confuses me is the upbeat melodies and the sad lyrics. A Gaelic thing, right?
