As I was getting dressed this morning, I heard this on the radio, and it really touched me, so I thought I'd share. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The new single by Darryl Worley, called Have You Forgotten? is a fantastic song, and reminds us Americans what we're really fighting for. You can listen to a stream of the song HERE on his official site. I've cut/pasted the lyrics below, in case you cant listen to the stream. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN? *********************************************** I hear people saying we don't need this war I say there's some things worth fighting for What about our freedom and this piece of ground? We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start preaching Let me ask you this my friend CHORUS 1 Have you forgotten how it felt that day To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away? Have you forgotten when those towers fell? We had neighbors still inside Going through a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten? They took all the footage off my T.V. Said it's too disturbing for you and me It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say If it was up to me I'd show it every day Some say this country's just out looking for a fight After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right CHORUS 1 Have you forgotten how it felt that day To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away? Have you forgotten when those towers fell? We had neighbors still inside Going through a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten? I've been there with the soldiers Who've gone away to war And you can bet they remember Just what they're fighting for CHORUS 2 Have you forgotten all the people killed? Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field Have you forgotten about our Pentagon? All the loved ones that we lost And those left to carry on Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten?

Just wanted to say that these types of songs aren't my kinda thing in general, and so it (being the lyrics) doesn't move me one little bit. I can understand (or try to) that others are moved by this text, but I for one am not.

And that is why you don't jump into war lightly? Tell me why America is so anxious to invade Iraq? Or isn't that a war? I can tell you for one thing that it they aren't simply invading Iraq 'because there are weapons of mass-destruction there'. This is just America trying to show the world that they are indeed the strongest.
The argument for Iraq having weapons of mass-destruction isn't so flawless as you all think it is. Why is Israel not invaded? They have weapons of mass-destruction? Those weapons were even supplied by America! And what do they use them for? Killing innocent Palestines! Kinda one-sided don't you think?

You logic about Israel is flawed allmost beyond belief! NAME ONE time Israel has ever use it's WoMD! Then go talk to the Kurd civilians that were killed in 1991 after the Gulf war by the Iraqis! I saw the bodies of babies killed by Iraqis chemical attacks plastered all over the TV. Why do you think there is a Northern NO-fly zone in Iraq? Or how about talking to the Iranians that where killed during the little war between Iraq and Iran? There is a far cry from having WoMD's and Using them on civilains!!!!! Israel did not get any WoMD from the USA, they got them on their own, you know the old fashion way. They stole a ship loaded with fisionable matterial, the ship sailed from Norway I believe so if you want to blame somebody blame the Nowegians(SP?) for not having enough security on a ship of fisionable matterial.

Nobody says that Iraq is innocent. We say that USA isn't the saint neither. I've seen the leafless jungles of Vietnam. I we seen the babies of Hiroshima...

And why isn't the US invading Israel ? Simple, Israel is an ally, and most defenitely not a threat to the world.
