War!!! War!!! War!!! that's ALL there is on television
Chorus:
War war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers
War!
People fill the world with narrow confidence
Like a child at birth, a man with no defence
What's mine's my own, I won't give it to you
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
(Chorus)
Man is far behind in the search of something new
Like a Philistine, we're burning witches too
This world of hate must be designed for you
It matters what you say, it matters what you do
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
(Chorus)
After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand miles back home
You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me
You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me
War!
In this heart of mine, I'll find a place for you
For black or white, for grown-up children too
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
(Chorus)
No more war
say no more war
say war
Senso hantai**
Senso hantai**
Say no more war

1. Hey, it gets people excited and keeps them glued to the tube, so they'll
see the commercials.

2. Son-of-a-bitch..! I miss "Big Dog" so much on days like this.
The world wasn't perfect or even near perfect but in the back of my
mind, I felt like things were going in the right direction.

Unfortunately ...they DID go in the "Right" direction.

11. Ironically, there is no war. It's a military venture by Israel with
the purpose of crushing Lebanon and Palestine as political states. Wars have two more or less equal sets of militaries, with mutual risks. While the IDF wipes out Palestine and Lebanon, Lebanon doesn't even have a combat force of any consequence and the Hezbollah is pooping their large firecrackers into towns in Northern Israel. (Yes, there have been some Israeli casualties, but, Israels' infrastructure hasn't been touched.)

I believe that if Israel had wanted to shut down the bottle rockets, they could have done so the first day or so. Technology is definitely at their disposal that would pinpoint the rocket origins within feet. They want the rockets to continue to justify their campaign of destruction.

And as for the Hezbollah, I don't have the foggiest notion of what they think they can accomplish with next to zero in military capabilities. They are not going to even slow Israel down by killing a couple dozen citizens or kidnapping a few soldiers. In the big picture, those are at best only token gestures of defiance. Perhaps the Hez believe that they can draw Syria and Iran into the military fray. That's not going to happen.
