    Its been 20 years plus since i heard this one.
    Tell me folks whether you can see the parallel here.
    This was one of my favorite groups in the 80's as they were one of the few in those times that had the guts to speak against the status quo.

    Sonic are you serious????????? We built up their former leader saddam, arm him with weapons and allowed him to gas kurds while shaking his hand. Then one day we decide to invade iraq on bs evidence our leader knew was wrong and we are passing candy out to kids who are too young to understand what we helped to do to their country, and your comparing your videos to the message that the asia group is sending through its song?

    Im now totally convinced that we will always have some people with no conscience at all that will always be someones sheeple to use and manipulate at anytime. Soniq you have reknewed my faith in these kinds of people:D. I was gonna pray for the sick and hungry in this world but i think some people really need much more prayer than others;)

    AGS, sonic cant help it. When someone has been indocrinated from birth into the message of facism(under the cloak of democracy) its very hard to break out and have a mind of their own.

    Gauharjk - this is the first song that really got me to think about wars and how they are started. While everyone else at my high school was getting stoned out of their wits i was starting to read up on the vietnam war and how bigger countries meddle in the affairs of smaller countries for their resources. This song started it all for me.

    Youtube is great. I am spending lots of time reacquainting myself with old favourites.
    Sometimes feel bad, because i forgot most of their names.
