Nu faller natten,
nu faller bomberna,
nu brinner barnen i häckkatomberna
nu ropar barnen vad glor du på?
det e 52, det e 52

(Now the night falls,
Now the bombs fall,
Now the children burn in their catacombs,
Now the children call, "What are you looking at?"
It's 52, it's 52)

Nu faller regnet från blåa skyarna,
nu brinner barnen i de små byarna,
och farmor brinner som en hund av halm,
det e napalm, de e napalm

(Now the rain falls from the blue skies,
Now the children burns in the small villages,
and grandma burns like a hound of halm,
it's napalm, it's napalm)

Nu kommer morgonen över ruinerna,
och genast startar man grävmaskinerna,
säg varför är det ett sånt gråt och skrik?
Man räknar lik, man räknar lik

(Now the morning comes over the ruins
and right away the CAT's start to dig.
Say why is there crying and mourning?
They're counting bodies, counting bodies)

Nu kommer dagen den kalla mordiska
nu brinner barnen i de underjordiska
men andra leker förmodar jag,
I USA, i USA

(Now the cold and murderous day comes,
now the children burn in the underground
but others still play or I assume,
In USA, in USA)

Nu kommer kvällen, nu faller natten
nu faller bomber över land och vatten
vi har kanonerna att sikta på
det är 52, det är 52

(Now the evening comes, now the night falls
now the bomb falls over land and sea.
We have the canons to aim at
it's 52, it's 52)

He already has reasons. They have names like "The Gulf War" and "Israel"


Since he is making so much damn money off of us he had no reason to attack but now since we are threatening him he will use any means to survice.

He's not likely to do much if he's dead. His soldiers aren't likely to do much if they're dead, either.


Not that Im a Spawn movie fan or anything but it is really simple to rig a device that would set off some kind of bomb if for some reason his life signs stopped.

That would make sense if Iraq was the only country on the planet that exported oil. Fortunately, they're not.


We get somewhere close to 30% of our oil from Iraq.

So you're worried about the fact that we prepared to deal with the aftermath of the war?


The dividing up of oil wells isn't an aftermath but a plunder. The government is going to steal them from the Iraqi government, plain and simple.

Yeah, God forbid that we actually care enough about starving people to help feed them.


It wouldn't be a problem if we ourselves were so much in debt. We should worry less about other countries and more about our own. While there spending billions saving other countries we are going further and further in to debt.

The stock market's months-long crash ended when the war started. I think that, combined with some nicely reduced oil prices and an increased demand for food, will be quite good for our economy.


Have you seen the numbers lately, oil prices have gone back up and the dow is in a downward spiral.

Ok, I have to admit I'm in favor of military action, but for reasons that are completely my own.

I'm not supporting the storm in Iraq because it's the patriotic thing to do. I'm supporting it because it's something that needs to be done. We've been beating the war drums since 1990. Sadam is a fucked up dictator who poses a threat not just to us, but to the world in general. It's obvious that 13 years of diplomacy haven't worked in getting Iraq to disarm, so now it's time to quit playing Mr. Nice Guy and show him we mean business.

As much as I hate Dubya, I AM pleased with the way he's been handling the "war" (we haven't had an official declared war since WW2 I believe) by NOT bombing the living hell out of Iraq and adopting a "Gordian Knot" policy (basically not bothering those who show no resistance). There's no point in killing the 3/4 of Sadam's army who are ready to hand their guns over to us the first chance they get because they're sick of being commanded by a paranoid moron.

As far as oil goes, yes it's a reason. I won't deny that. But in reality, it isn't a very big one in this case. If Iraq had decided to invade Saudi Arabia, THEN I would say it's an oil war. The reason Dubya, Sr. launched Desert Storm was because Iraq was invading Kuwait, who had rich oil fields. In all honesty, we don't give a flying frell about Iraq's oil because Iraqi oil fields don't produce half the volume or quality of their neighbors (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.) The reason we're scared of Sadam setting oil wells on fire is because of the ecological problems it creates and the fact that it takes few things short of a nitro bomb to put out such a fire (hence the reason oil-well-firefighters are nicknamed Hellfighters).

I was against this war before it started, but now that it's off the ground, I really wish the protesters would shut the hell up and respect the American AND British troops who are risking their lives so we don't get nuked, gassed, or biologically exterminated. I once said that considering how well Iraq and Iran get along, the fact that we couldn't get Iran to support us, it probab;y wasn't a good idea. But Iran has their own political reasons for not joining up. Would YOU support a country who two-timed you causing the deaths of thousands of your people (Iran-Contra Scandal), then turned around and called you one of the "Axis of Evil"? I think not. Iran knows damn fucking well that after we're done with Iraq, they're next on the list.

That's my war rant for today.

In the same respect I could tell you to shut the hell up and get our troops out of Iraq and stopping acting like America rules the whole freaking world. But I dont since I respect others opinions and dont judge them because of it. If this was reversed and you were protesting you wouldn't like the fact that people were calling you un-patriotic for voicing your opinion. If a person in this country is so low as too say that since I voice my opinion that I am un-american then I think that they should look at the consititution again. Last time I checked it said freedom of speech. That lets Eminem sing about raping his mother, some little 10 year talk about porn *looks a Nick* and for me to say that America isn't always right. btw this rant isn't aimed at you Bushounen, I just used you as a quote because that statement has been made by many. To tell you the truth I am tired of this debate because this war will continue until Americans see either Saddam dead (not likely, if I remember correctly we still haven't found Bin Laden what makes us think we will ever find Saddam) or so many Americans die that the public in general are outraged enough to want a recall of troops.

You know after previewing my post I have realized that this topic has completely changed from "the song of war" to "a political statement". Since it needs to stay music based I will stop ranting about the war here.

Well stated. I personally can't stand the uber-patriotic hardliners, either. And the protesters I'm talking about aren't the ones who harmlessly state their opinion (like you). I'm talking about the idiots who lay in the streets or carry signs across busy roadways. If I was an NYC motorist, I WOULD run them over. They have the right to protest peacefully, not stop traffic. I'd have to say I also don't appreciate the morons on campus here yelling at ME to stop killing our soldiers when they don't even know what side I'm on (they assume I'm for the war just because I'm ignoring them).

But I definitely agree that nobody should be called un-American for stating their opinion freely, since doing so is exercising our foremost American civil right (freedom of speech, like you said).

But getting back to the musical topic, I'm not a Country music fan (I loathe 99% of it), but this could work for an Iraqi war theme. If for nothing else than the title: SheDaisy's "Get Over Yourself"

He hasn't yet, so the chances of him doing so in the future are not very high. And he's not making "so much damn money," because UN-imposed economic sanctions were crippling the Iraqi economy (I was very strongly against the sanctions, by the way, since they starved the Iraqi people without weakening Saddam's power base. This war is the exact opposite)

Not with Iraq's level of technology.

MAS PRODUCTIONS wrote:We get somewhere close to 30% of our oil from Iraq.


Great. What about the other 70%?

MAS PRODUCTIONS wrote:The dividing up of oil wells isn't an aftermath but a plunder. The government is going to steal them from the Iraqi government, plain and simple.


And that's a bad thing because...? Again, this is just a perk, not the real reason why we're ousting Saddam.

And our government's checkbooks are more important than people's lives? That's an interesting view...

Hey Black Monarch, you think you could have said fucking one more time for me? I made a bet with my friends how many times you'd say it before the end.


Anyways, on the matter of the war, a lot of the songs posted are on a humerous sort of line, something for everyone to laugh about. You have to realize there is nothing wrong with Iraq, the people are inoccent and our war is not with them, it's only with Sadam's family.

however, since Sadam is the ruler of Iraq, in his pursuit we're kinda fighting this war right in their backyard, which is a terrible thing for all those people to have to go through.

I mean, what if we all lived in the City of Los Angeles, and the mayor pissed off say the entire country of Japan, and the UN. Now he's a wealthy man, and has the entire city of L.A. under control, and is safley tucked away in the most guarded safe house of all time right in the middle of the city. He's willing to launch nucleur and chemical weapons amungst other normal weapons anywhere to keep Japan and other countries away from him, including the city of Los Angeles itself. The only way Japan can get to the Mayor of Los Angeles to remove him from power, is to go through Los Angeles. Now all us inoccent by stander of L.A. that live there, are being bombarded by Japan and killed, because of one man and his two sons. What are we to do?

Innocent people are dying over there in Iraq, the country itself is not at fault or to blame.

Now here is a more realistic song that should be the war's theme song:

Sum 41 - The Hell Song Download it off my server if you want. (you'll have to right click and say save as)

Lyrics:

"Hell Song"

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
And knowing how to change the things you've been through

I feel I've come to realize
How fast life can be compromised
Step back to see what's going on
I can't beleive this happened to you
This happened to you

It's just a problem that I'm faced with am I
Not the only one who hates to stand by
Complications that are first in this line
With all these pictures running through my mind

Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Get back
Step back
And as for me, I can't believe

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
But what else are we supposed to do

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

This is a song I cam up with, slightly based on that son Tubthumping.

We'll be singing,
While we're Bombing,
We'll be singing....

Iraq got knocked around,
But they'll be up again,
But America's gonna win.

Iraq got knocked around,
But they'll be up again,
But America's gonna win.

Iraq got knocked around,
But they'll be up again,
But America's gonna win.

Blowing Saddam Up...
Blowing Saddam Up....

We bomb `em with a little Nuke,
We bomb `em with a tad of Daisy,
We give `em a taste of MOAB,
And when we're done they'll be so dead.

Saddam sings the songs that remind him,
Why America hates him,
Saddam sings the songs that remind him,
Why America's gonna bomb him.

Oh Osama's next..
Osama's next...
Osama's next...

Iraq got knocked around,
But they'll be up again,
But America's gonna win.

Iraq got knocked around,
But they'll be up again,
But America's gonna win.

Iraq got knocked down,
But they'll be up again,
But America's gonna win.

Blowing Saddam Up...
Blowing Saddam Up....

We bomb `em with a little Nuke,
We bomb `em with a tad of Daisy,
We give `em a taste of MOAB,
And when we're done they'll be so dead.

Saddam sings the songs that remind him,
Why America hates him,
Saddam sings the songs that remind him,
Why America's gonna bomb him.

Don't try to stop us,
Don't try to help him.

Oh look,
Saddam just got killed.

We'll be singing
While we're searching
We'll be singing...

America was knocked around,
They tried to beat us down,

Osama you better be on the look out,
For you're gonna pay,
For the innocents you killed that day!

..... And that proves why I should never eat a gaint candy bar and drink a soda afterwards....
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.

Ok, might as well suggest a couple of serious ones....

"Dead Winter Dead" by Savatage

Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head
"Breathe it in, breathe it in," isn't that what they said
As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires?
Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night
Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light
As the puppets hang upon their wires

[chorus]
I've lost my way, kneel down and pray
It all decays, it takes me down, down, down
Like the minister said, like the minister said
Where this all has led...dead winter dead

Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind
As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time
To read words from a past you can't remember?
Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for
If it made sense my friend well then not anymore
Every dream I'm told has its December

[chorus]
I've lost my way, kneel down and pray
It all decays, it takes me down, down, down
Like the minister said, like the minister said
Where this all has led...dead winter dead


"Invincible" by Pat Benatar

This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisified
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's nowhere we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

We get somewhere close to 30% of our oil from Iraq.



Check your numbers before posting them as fact. 54% of oil consumption in the US in 2001 came from imports, the other 46% was domestic. 42% of imports came from OPEC (Saudi Arabia, Venzuela, Nigeria, Iraq) Iraqi oil comprises 16% of that. This means that of all oil used in America (2001, though the numbers are similar for 1998-2002) 3.6% came from Iraq.

Perhaps you were thinking of the percentage of imports that come from the Persian Gulf?

I wouldn't have included that chart if I were you. It shows the Dow thirteen going up after war started. :wink:

Actually I meant to go in and put lines showing a timeline of when things were happening but I was on a computer without photoshop. I chose the chart because it showed a decrease before the war, a spike when the war started, and them the plumet after everyone found out that America wasn't gonna whoops as within 24 hours. More than likely the country will end up in a recession just like twelve years ago. The trends almost perfectly match except car sales aren't as bad as back then.
