Hi ~S~

I've seen those threads, and agree many of the songs were about peace.

But then our country began waging war against the people of Afghanistan, who have done nothing to directly effect our national security. Absolutely nothing. They are one of the poorest nations on earth, and certainly the most devastated.

Is that what we want our country to stand for? Are those communal values we wish to uphold? The wealthiest, most powerful nation on earth attacking the poorest, most vulnerable and defenseless country in the world?

I think the US and British waging war against the people of Afghanistan calls for a different sort of peace song than those we've been sharing here since Sept 11th, which is why I started a new thread, and look forward to hearing peoples' ideas about ways to effectively wage peace and work for justice through our songs.
