Round Here

Round here east is east and west is west And never the twain shall meet Right now the black gold in the deserts Is worth more than the blood in the cities Round here we’re fighting for a just cause Even if the traitors and fanatics say otherwise Right now the world is a safer place Because we say so Round here human rights apply Only when people of civilized states are involved Right now we don’t wish to discuss the fate of those Who were presumed guilty because of their faith or ethnicity Round here we’re too busy with reconstruction Too worry about regrettable casualties Right now it’s actually their liberation Rather than those lies about their occupation Round here and everywhere else We are right because might is right Right now some okay most people may disagree Not that it matters to us

Round here we used to think our media was lies
But for comic relief we now switch to Fox News
Right now a country is importing 'democracy'
So that they can have another puppet regime oops elected govt.

You're kindda amusing....ever ventured into the media?.......Anyways moving on I suppose it's rather unreasonable for me to assume that you see this side of the picture since ur SUV is prob more important than whats happening with people somewhere else in the world. Not here to determine right or wrong, just to express a viewpoint.So just keep believing whatever u want to and may GOD keep everyone safe no matter where they maybe......Amen

no. I agree with parts of what you are saying. and yes I read news magazines watch tv and read the paper, which are all at least a little discolored. What I'm saying is that WE drive some of the reasons for war. When we find an alternative to fossil fuel. what will be our excuse then. I still belive we did a lot of good there. it's not over yet though.
