Subject: RE: Anti-war songs to fit the occasion
Arm twisting an alliance is not a world court kind of legitimacy I was talking about.

As for anti war songs here is one I wrote this morning. I thinks it has something for everyone.

'Love means never having to say you're Saudi'

In the early morning hours there was a tragic terrible thing

In a land that revolved around oil and the sex life of a "king"

In the early morning hours an enemy unknown, was on their way

There was no warning on that crystal clear September day

They love their God and aim the planes for the wrath he's wrought.

Soon the enemy had a face that said he was innocent but you deserved what you got

ON 911 a faceless enemy showered NY with PAPER, AIRPLANES AND BODIES.

Love means never having to say you are Saudis

[refrain] Paper , Airplanes and bodies. Love means never having to say you are Saudis.

The faceless enemies while among us looked us in the eye with silence

While in their hearts and minds was their loving God's violence.

The love of your God has promised you that you can change the course of history

The depth and horror of your hate was to us, of course a mystery

Somewhere tonight there is the man that plans your future and its cost.

It is not for God , it is not for Islam but to regain the family he has lost

An eye for an eye, a scar in the sky the shock and horror for the families that cried.

We will find a way each day to teach you the God you love has lied.

[refrain] An eye for an eye, a scar in the sky the shock and horror for the families that cried. We will find a way each day to teach you the God you love has lied.
