Subject: RE: Anti-war songs to fit the occasion
I have to agree with some of the statements made about this being different than Viet Nam.

I first have to ask - What is the proof that we are targeting the Afgan. people? I have seen little or none.

And whiile youu worry about those people, where is you concern for OUR innocents, including the Muslim men and women who died on 9-11! What about the embassy bombings, the attempt on the life of the President of Egypt, the Cole, the WTC basement bombing and the list goes on. What about what the Taliban is doing to women and children of their own country! Get your heads out of the sand and into the right century! This is not Viet Nam anymore!

And on being for peace, I am. I have VERY strict moral and religious constricts on when a war can be wages, and how it can be waged (if ever) and be morally acceptable. So far, this one is. When it crosses the line, I will protest and sing with you!
