Well, the lyrics ARE cheesy, but true! It's often that way. I can't see the conflict ending anytime soon, unfortunately, but the more those of us who are fundamentally opposed to the indiscriminate killing of innocents shout about it, in coffeeshops, online, wherever we happen to be, the better chance there is that our "leaders" will come to their senses and stop supporting this horrid, horrid bunch of wars. (no, I don't really think it will matter, but it can't hurt to try)

very true...
it's unlikely that it will stop soon..even if this particular one does...another will start elsewhere
just this time it a disproportionate number of children dying....
and not only is that excessively bad in itself...but that type of thing is exactly what CAUSES terrorists....as the families transfer their grief into hatred and destructive rage

Yeah, it seems the things the powers do to "stop" terrorism only creates more people ready to commit it, probably because they feel so powerless to do anything useful. When you kill someone's family, that person is not likely to embrace your cause, no matter how just you believe it to be.
