No Bravery Anymore
Please view this video and listen to the song by James Blunt. I love James Blunt’s music (especially "You’re Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover") but I hadn’t heard "No Bravery." The song is even more powerful now in terms of Iraq than it was for Bosnia, where he was stationed when he wrote it.
What I noticed most about the video montage is the sadness in everyone’s eyes, including those of American soldiers. Support our troops. End this illegal war. Turn the USA away from this present darkness.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he’s been here.And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Wasn’t the US/UK led NATO intervention what eventually stopped the ethnic cleansing taking place in Bosnia?
Wasn’t that also an “illegal war” in the sense that the Security Council did not approve it?
If anything the Bosnia examples proves the Iraq war is just, and like the removal of Milosevic has brought down one more tyrant.
You would compare the NATO intervention in Bosnia to our invasion of Iraq (without invitation)? Wow.
Iraq had Hussein, but their lives under American colonization (complete with permanent military bases along the oil lines) is even worse than it was then. Most of them want us out – can we still try to pretend that we are there to bring democracy and freedom? I believe that our soldiers do what they can – many of them anyway – but that’s not why they were sent there.
I think the people of Fallujah probably don’t see much difference between Milosevic and Bush.
