I miss music that had meaning and was written as poetry.

Canada Day Can Con.For the politically inclined, going way back to 1984, hmm 1984 where have I heard that before.. don't try this at home, the thought police will surely get you.

@71dhb I know where the UN was during Rawandan genocides. France, a member of the UN, was supplying the Hutu Army with rifles, smg's, rpg's and a whole buttload of machetes. Then the UN said "Oh the horror, our hands are tied, why don't we give the order to help these people.....oh wait...it's over." The Tutsi's were the ruling class in Rawanda and they were removed by another ruling class. The same ruling class that founded and controls the UN.

@whwoowee Yes it is the 'Americans' who gave us a century of war. Not those enlightened Europeans.

ThatzMrOcelot

@71dhb Yeah, but one needs to understand that the UN needs to be VERY careful about how, or even if they interfere (Don't get me wrong! I agree with you, they don't do nearly enough) but one false move in a crisis could easily lead to a much larger problem.

@upadaria Cuba doesn't carry out mass killings of its people, and the killings in Nicaragua were by right-wing contra forces trying to dislodge the Sandinista government- the FSLN overthrew a dictator, formed a democratic interim government, won two elections, only lost the third because of US intimidation ('Vote against the FSLN or we continue the murders'), and still was the most popular single party in that election, and was re-elected later. Educate yourself before you speak.

Alec Gentry

@whwoowee Oh, shut up, hippie. War is real and fighting and squaller are never going to go away as long as ANYTHING in nature exists, so you may as well not complain. Also, with every war America has been in, we've been fighting to either protect ourselves or an allied nation, or make lives better for the majority of the population in foreign countries. Quit 'cho bitchin'.

Marilyn Taylor

Bruce Cockburn from the nation of PEACEKEEPERS: Canada. Before Stephen Harper began dismantling what our country stood for.

William Collier

The song could just have easily been about Cuba or Nicaragua as any other place: evil, regardless of its color or ideology is still evil.

@fizzypopism Those who refuse to carry swords can still die on them.

hat's off to bruce cockburn.

Brutal regimes propped up on the left and the right for power and money. Some the result of sociopathic and charismatic leaders. Other times differences in religion and race bring out the worst in us. Barbarism around the world and always someone willing to sit in the helicopter and fire on the citizens below. I want to remain calm, logical and humane but if I were on the ground when the bullets starting hitting children I'd want a f'in rocket launcher and some son of a bitch would die.
