Great song to protest the war in Iraq. Obviously, it's about how America trains and aids all these foreign countries and as soon as they start to think and act for themselves, America comes in with all this rightgeous bullshit about what these countries have done and wonder where they got these ideas. Americans got pissed off at the contras in Columbia after they eliminated the governments that America told them to eliminate. They get pissed off at Osoma Bin Laden (not that I condone that sort of thing) for using terrorist skills learned from Americans against them. "We know Saddam has weapons of mass destruction. We sold them to him. We have the recipts!"
@Dropkick_Rover I think it's more about the war in Afghanistan --
"Now I'll train an army for my kids to fight one day, we'll teach 'em all our secrets and then we'll walk away." is exactly what happened there, we trained/supplied our current enemies to fight the Soviets in the '80s, and when we invaded they used our own tactics and weapons we sold them against us. Oopsie!
