AN UGLY, DIRTY, EVIL, THING

Contributed by steeleyes on Saturday, 29th July 2006 @ 08:20:18 AM in AEST
Topic: war



No matter what excuse you say you have
No matter what warnings you say you gave
The images to our minds will always cling
You’ve done an ugly, dirty, evil thing

No matter what your PR machine churns out
No matter your power politics with all its clout
We see blood spattered boy and mother cling
You’ve done an ugly, dirty, evil thing

No matter how much you continue to strike
No matter how many “We’re right’s” you shriek
You can’t bring those kids back in the sun to sing
You’ve done an ugly, dirty, evil thing

No matter if Bush stands by and smirks at you
No matter if Blair washes his hands in the dew
Your reputation back to normal you can never bring
You’ve done an ugly, dirty, evil thing

First, I want to say that you write well and convincingly. But your content is so one-sided. Where are the pictures of the destruction in Israel and the dead Israeli women and children killed by the actions of Hizbullah? How are their actions justified? They are the ones who started this horrible mess. How about the recent apolgy by Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hizbullah to the families of two Israeli children in Nazareth. The aplogy only came forth, not because they were children, but because they were Arab Israelis. There seems to be no outcry for the Jewish grandmothers, mothers, children who die. I want to see this end as much as you do but I feel that until there is a huge ourcry from moderate Muslims to stop the violence from extremist Muslims, no where in our world will anyone be safe.
