I suggest we dedicate a song to Cindy and Casey Sheehan
I was just going through some of my mp3's and came across an old favorite.

"Voices that Care"

I remember, this was something of a themesong during the Gulf War I. It's really an emotion stiring song, but it doesn't justify war, it's just about letting the soldiers know you care.

I just love the irony of it, especially if it caught on as a themesong for the anti-war movement.

1. This one has a verse about Cindy
"Magnetic Ribbons" http://savefile.com/files.php?fid=4193440

Here are the words...

"Magnetic Ribbons"

Some wave the flag around and wear it on their sleeve
Never question anything and always believe what’s been said
Call me a skeptic but it doesn’t seem right
To send our loved ones over there to fight for lies that we’ve been fed

“We’re fighting for our freedom” that one just don’t hold true
The people we invaded weren’t the threat to either me or you
A liberating force is what we’re told we’re supposed to be
But the people over there, they never asked for any help from you or me

(Chorus):
Magnetic Ribbons on your SUV
Don’t make you more patriotic than me
It’s fair to question, who we have in charge
He claims it’s noble but it gives me pause
How many more will have to die for his cause
I really wonder which one’s the terrorist at large

He vowed to catch them when those towers fell down
It’s 4 years later and they’re still not found
He changed directions, and let the bad guys get away

What kind of lie is more harmful to you?
The kind about a soldier’s life or a stained dress that is blue?
How many more will have to die before you ask yourself, “Did I trust the wrong man?”

Magnetic Ribbons on your SUV
Don’t make you’re more patriotic than me
It’s fair to question, who we put in charge
How many more will have to die for his cause
He claims it’s noble but it gives me pause
I really wonder which one’s the terrorist at large

Pay close attention and open your eyes
Before he lets another patriot die for his lies
Why call it freedom when you have to invade
It’s never liberation, if they don’t ask for our aid, now we’ve paid…….in blood

Goldstar Mama come to see him face to face
But the Secret service won’t let her near his place
Say she’s a threat, to his security
Her son was a Marine, who put his life on the line
A Compassionate conservative ain’t got enough time to show he cared (or is he scared?)

What kind of lie is more harmful to you?
The kind about a soldier’s life or a stained dress that was blue?
How many more will have to die before you ask yourself, “Did I trust the wrong man?”

Magnetic Ribbons on your SUV
don’t mean you’re more patriotic than me
It’s fair to question, who we’ve got in charge.
How many more will have to die for his cause,
He claims it’s noble but it gives me pause,
I really wonder which one’s the terrorist at large

Magnetic Ribbons on your SUV
Don’t make you more patriotic than me
It’s fair to question, who we have in charge.
How many more will have to die for his cause,
He claims it’s noble but it gives me pause,
I really wonder which one’s the terrorist at large

“Have you forgotten?” How dare you say that to me?
Don’t try to trivialize, or patronize me
Osama’s been forgotten last time I checked the lost n found
Let’s fight the real enemy who struck us on our ground

Magnetic Ribbons….
