I think that...that this song isn't about being a coward. It's about believing that war just isn't the answer. It just isn't.
You say you'd allow your child to go to war and fight off a horrible evil, but in all honesty, your little warrior is just as evil in the eyes of their opponents. There is no good side/bad side in war--only misguided people looking to make a name for themselves, 'defend their country' or simply looking to kill legally.
There's always two options when trying to settle a debate--peacefully and not so peacefully. We can always sit and discuss worldly issues, that option's always there. But, sadly, because we're human, our instincts are set for the survival of 'our own'. We teach our children to protect 'our own', no matter the costs. Bigotry can be compared to war. No--bigotry /is/ war; it's what starts wars, it's why we're such a disgusting species.
If we could just be man (and woman) enough to accept differences, we'd end rasicm, enslavement, communism, hatred...the list goes on. But we're cowards. So, as an alternative, we fight.
We could have peace, but I guess we just aren't ready yet. We like fighting too much.
Peace isn't a childish, immature notion. It's the greater decision that humans are too cowardly to embrace.
I agree with almost everything you say, however true Communism is the farthest thing from evil. True Communism is collective anarchy where everyone has everything they NEED to survive and have equal opportunities to acquire what they WANT.. Communism is the fairest, justest, and most natural of any form of man-made government because it builds off natural principles. I'm guessing you were raised in America.
