Unfortunatly many American-idiot/sheeple think rocket launchers are ok as long as they are pointed in the other direction. When we think of war we should consider how green the grass must feel on the other side of the fence!
This song is mostly about how Bruce hates all the violence and war, but he can understand why people resort to it. The song has such a deep meaning. I heard it on a liberal station the other day, and let me just say, I'm surprised the conservatives haven't accusedd this song of inspiring people to be terrorists. That's like how they used to say Marilyn Manson caused Columbine. It's ridiculous.
I so love this song. Bruce is a Christian, a doctor and a humanitarian - the song captures the conflict between his paciifism and his hatred of those who committ these atrocities.
This song was written about Nicaragua, but it may as well have been written about Iraq. The story never changes, all this done in the name of "Democracy" or better yet "Our way of life". But yet we create many more problems than we solve and then weaken our own situation morally and financially. The "NeoCons" will never admit this is what they create and they today stand by and watch as the results of their fackata beliefs come to light...
Politicians are so far removed and indifferent from the general people it`s sick.They live in their protected lives like they are another form of human beings.Money takes over their values and morals.Enough to blind them from the sufferings of this world. They write the rest of the world off like they write their tax write offs.....
canada or not were all doomed to the same fate it dosen't were you live we will always turn out the same the fact is that there is no diffrence at what happens countrys are conterys because of differences but there is almost know difference exept in types of government but that dosen't always effect everyone evey day some times it does but there is no differnce

this guy wouldn't know personal sacrifice if it slapped him in the face. piece of shit would probably run away if he was faced with saving 20 people by giving his own life.
I don't like Canadians either, they are just slightly nicer Americans. Only a handful of individuals in North America are decent but as a whole the continent (or country, which is a more accurate word) are a bunch of douche bags.
