  • Formed in 1964, the proto-punk group The Fugs hit the road in the fall of 1965 on an anti-Vietnam protest tour, doing concerts with Country Joe & The Fish and Allen Ginsberg. The song "Kill for Peace" mocks the US government logic behind the war:

    "Kill, kill, kill for peace

    If you let them live

    They might support the Russians

    If you let them live

    They might love the Russians...."

  • Substitute a few lyrics to make it current for Afghanistan and you have the same war is peace, pro-corporate militaristic mindset that justified killing millions in Vietnam. To quote Yogi Berra, "It's Deja Vu all over again"
