FocalAnLae Cash was singing about all liars, backbiters and so forth; it is clear to long time Cash fans that it is also a protest song. It is no secret to his fans that Cash opposed Bush's and others' actions vis a vis Iraq an the lies that were told to the American people and the British people. Even Colin Powell said ghe regretted that UNspeech that even convinced ME. (NO weapons of mass destruction were ever found.) Now, it is more than two years and more than 2,100 additional military and untold thousands of civilian deaths since Bush declared the end of the war" and "Mission Accomplished" on that airdraft carrier, and the lies and deaths go on. You may not agree with me or Johnny Cash, That's okay because freedom of speech (on either side) is an American RIGHT guaranteed by the Constitution. I support our troops and love my country but the Iraq war is wrong, DEAD wrong. Study the history of Shia versus Sunni Muslims and you will see that day will turn to night before they EVER a
FocalAnLae agree on ANYTHING. Meanwhile, the deaths, woundings and massacres go on. I do not see this as a party issue as I am furious with the Dems and Reps alike who voted to ok this joke of a "war" and also voted not to censure Israel's ongoing massacres of Palestinian and now Lebanese civilians, not to mention our own civilian massacres in Iraq. (Our Rep. Congressman is AGAINST the war) Think and pray about these lyrics: "You can throw your rock, hide your hand, Workin' in the dark against your fellow man. But as sure as God made black and white, What's done in the dark, Will be brought to the light." Bush is FAMOUS for working in the dark. New Orleans is still a disaster area a year later.
FocalAnLae Th levees are not yet fully fixed; if Ernest comes in, it will be death and destruction all over again. The city's population is ONE HALF of what it was. See my album on the "state of New Orleans" at http://www.fotoamigo.com/FocalAnLae/?id=46675 The facts speak for themselves!
