19 Miles to Baghdad

Fantastic. Love this song and video. Very poignant and moving.

My perspective is unaided by wine, for better or for worse,

but I think it has to do with conscience and the war that our

country has engaged in where hundreds of thousands of

innocent are being killed to keep the oil supply to Americans

gushing onward and seeping into the sky.

I think part of the tone reflects a lackadaisical and detached American

perspective on the war. First it looks like "something good has begun",

[dugsnyder70]

but the lyrics spin the facts that leave us no choice to share

the heart broken realization of our countries real role and real colors,

with the poignant refrain "what have we become?"

The songs sadness provides a gentle transition for the typical American

from innocent ignorance to tainted knowledge that leaves our hearts

full of questions.

Hopefully we keep asking these questions

and let them define our new realities

Thanks Lizzie! You've done it. You've created

an anthem for the generation. Tender and

respectful to the losses we've suffered. Play

it to the whole world. It has a healing power!
