Body of War - Torrent

En gripande dokumentär från 2007, som visar Irakkriget från en synvinkel som fler borde uppmärksamma. Se den!

Vid premiärvisningen framförde Eddie Vedder denna sång:


Eddie Vedder - Here's to the State

Here's to the judges of John Roberts,
Who wear the robe of honor in a phony legal form,
And justices are stranger when the partisans report,
When the court elected a president it was the beginning of this war,

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
John Roberts find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the government of Dick Cheney,
With criminals posing as advisors to the crown,
And they hope that no one sees the sites or that no one hears the sounds,
Cause the speeches of our president are the ravings of a clown

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Dick Cheney find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the churches of Pat Robertson*,
The cross once made of silver,ohh, now has turned to rust,
And the sunday morning services preach in fear of men in love,
And heaven only knows in wich God they must trust

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Pat Robertson* find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the laws of Alberto Gonzalez,
Congress will pass an act in the panic of the day,
And the Constitution's drowning in an ocean of decay,
And freedom of speech is dangerous we've even heard them say,

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Gonzalez find yourself another country to be part of

And here's to the businessmen of George W,
Who'll want to change the focus from Halliburton and Enron
And their profits like blood money spilled out on the white house lawn,
And to keep on hold off power they're using terror as a con,
While the bombs they fall on children dont care which side that they're on

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
George W find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of,
George W find yourself another country to be part of


(*) I andra versioner sjunger Vedder "Jerry Falwell". Om Falwell går att läsa följande på Wikipedia "Efter terroristattackerna mot World Trade Center gjorde Falwell och Pat Robertson uttalanden som gav homosexuella och abortförespråkare skulden för det inträffade då de ansåg att dessa grupper dragit ner Guds vrede över USA genom att sekulerisera landet."
