Green Day has just released this song in protest of the Gulf War II. It really is a great song and I think it sums up how a lot of people are feeling right now:
-How can I rationalize my life during wartime lie?
These lines are the best part:
But war is going on right now/ And I'm not doing anything about it/ Without a crowd I'm not so loud/
I can't do anything by myself/
But that's just another lie
That is exactly what is going on in America. We're being told that dissent is unpatriotic and that since our president has chosen for us to go to war that we should stand by the decision (right or wrong) because we're Americans --that anti-war sentiment will do nothing. But, as this song says, we can do something. And we should do something. It's time.
