Memorial Day is the day to remember those who died in defense of this country.<\/p>\n
The American dead in Iraq were not defending our country. Their deaths represent an even more significant tragedy. <\/p>\n
(Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall)<\/p>\n
They died for causes that no-one has been able to articulate faithfully or honorably.<\/p>\n
(There’s many lost, but tell me who has won.)<\/p>\n
Comfort the troops, support their families. <\/p>\n
(The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart)<\/p>\n
Bring them home.<\/p>\n
(And its true we are immune
When fact is fiction and tv reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die)<\/p>\n
Bush mashup – Sunday Bloody Sunday:<\/p>\n
(How long, how long must we sing this song?)<\/p>\n
