3. I'm going to buy every CD she ever made. And may I give my thanks to whoever

made that video montage. The juxtaposition with the Viet Nam clips was almost too much for me. But well done, indeed.

6. WOW! Thanks so much for posting this on DU, SeattleGirl!

I made the video back in 2005, and I just found out today that you had posted it on DU. Can you imagine?! I went back to my video today after seeing the benchmark of the 3000 dead soldiers in Iraq. It's so sad to start 2007 like this.

Thank you again and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

7. What a great song and what a voice!

I liked the video treatment as well.

Such sad times...it is absolutely necessary for anyone who can write music to make sure to write songs about these times. So what if the Musical Industrial Complex sees it as "too risky". They have always been wrong when it comes to political music. Amusingly wrong over time...

8. Very sad that this was made in 2005 and today is the first day of 2007

What has changed? At least the country seems to be waking from their long slumber. Now we need to impeach and pass HR 4232 to stop funding this quagmire. Great song and message!
