"This is Chris’ first Thunder co-write. He came up with a terrific riff and title that inspired the whole thing. Regardless of what you think about Bush, Blair, Saddam Hussein and the war in Iraq, there is one absolute truth in and amongst the spin and deceit that we have been fed; lots of innocent people have died and more will die. As the man/woman in the street, we can only process the information available to us and, as turned out to be the case with Weapons of Mass Destruction, that information is often tainted. You can’t justify going to war on poor intelligence and hearsay. I’m not usually an advocate of Politics in rock’n’roll but when it’s on the news everyday we can’t just look the other way and pretend it’s not happening. I hope the tune is as epic as the subject it addresses."
