Great job, David and Margaret.  Thanks for never giving up, your passion helps keep me going...

I hope Yoo and his co-horts experience 100 times the agony they have inflicted upon others of the human race. They obviously are not human.

Hard to watch, but it's all true. The fact he still has his cushy professorship speaks badly of the state of "higher" education. Just think - he teaches law!

[MartyGras82]

Watching this reminds me how fascist the US has become. Supporting the troops is now practically become the equivalent of supporting SS Death Squads. Is it a coincidence that EVERY marine I know personally tells me they have been involved in one way or another in the murder of innocent civilians including women, children, and the elderly. To quote Lamb of god..."This is not a war but an Annihilation."

No , he is not a non-human - he is a human monster ! He deserves the same of which he caused !

YOO IS A WAR-CRIMINAL!!!

[XavierNinnis]

Truly, the lyrics need a re-work.

That said, nothing would please me more than to see Mr Yoo in the dock at the Hague, being made to answer for his role in my country's lawlessness.

At a BARE MINIMUM, we as a nation will never regain the right to be considered among the ranks of the civilized until the man has been disbarred and publicly disgraced.

I agree with the sentiments expressed in this song; that being said, the song needs better poetics. It currently sounds like:

Yoo, violated section 1972 of USCode 1782, and needs to be brought to justice on US seventy-two, oh, oh, oh, oh, Yoo, tangled up in YOOOO, oh, oh, oh! Tangled, up in Yahoooh, oh, oh.ugy, boogy, woo.

There is good Joan Baez and then there is this

Go back to the song board and work it more to yield a timeless effect.

You (not Yoo) can't go wrong with such good harmonica accompaniment! Justice and music go hand in hand.
