I see trees of green, red roses too

[Earth_First]

I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

2. Surreal

On CNN that song is often in juxtaposition with news reports of deaths in Iraq, night-vision camera pics of Falluja being strafed by AC-130s.

Straight out of Catch-22

On edit: I just remembered that broadcast of War of the Worlds where the horrible news that a reporter had been killed was often displaced by sounds of beautiful "studio music".

This is getting beyond bizzarre.
