Interesting that this thread currently co-exists with a thread entitled "Songs of the Lincoln Brigade". It can cause confusion in us lefty/liberal folkies, whether it is a Good Thing or a Bad Thing for Americans to interfere in the domestic government of other nations. This is further clouded, comparing the circumstances of the two threads, by the fact that Franco was a bit of a Mother Teresa compared to Saddam. May I suggest a compromise that should please everybody: the USA should be allowed to invade Iraq, as long as the soldiers sing "Viva la Quince Brigada" while they're going in.
