This is from the comments (songfacts.com). They are discussing the lyrics from B.Y.O.B. by System Of A Down. I don't agree with everything he says, but he does make some good points.
AS for Jim, Townsville, Australia, lmao, smoke some more pal..........First off, get over the whole war/oil BS, it's liberal rhetoric at best and sorry to tell you but WMD's were indeed in Iraq, just come to the US and visit some of the local VA facilities and tell the vets getting their lungs pumped every 4 months from fluids caused by exposure from biological weapons that there were none.......... Gotta love the left, always first to sond off like they know everything yet they only repeat what some uneducated idiot on CNN/MSNBC or some liberl professor tells them, not what people who have actually been there and faught in the crap know like myself. We here in the states sat at our TV's for almost 3 weeks watching the media play videos of TNTK trucks going from Iraq from Syria. TNTK is a term for trucks that are equipted to transport chemical and biological weapons FIY. Second, we invaded Iraq after Saddam violated several UN resolutions for the unteenthed time. Not only did he get told he was going to get the full invasion if he thumbed his nose at UN inspecors and those from the DEO but he had 7 warnings, not the 3 agreed between the UN, USA and EU that ended up being the straw that broke Saddams back. Lets not forget the Genocide this nutsace was involved in along with human rights violations that was also part of the deal of invasion. Did you know he oldest son was a professional in the field of rape? Yip, sure was, that was this kids job, to rape anyone who stood or was thought to have stood, said/ dissagreed with Saddam. IF you thought you were going to turn your head and not watch your wife and children get raped by this guy, they simply cut your eyelids off and made you watch. Didn't matter if you were 2yo or 99yo male/female. Liberals forget that when Mariens, Soldiers, Sailors etc..... are over there in combat, we get to see and hear the "factual" reasons why we are fighting this war, not opinions which the rest of America gets fed from people like Kieth Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. When you start quoting that garbage, you have no idea how idiotic and ignorant you sound. Did oil have anything to do with the war? I wouldn't say it was not part of the reason we participated in DS but sure the heck was not the reason for the invasion of Iraq under G.W. Bush. I can always count on anit US and left wingers to quote this kind of garbage though, and even with hard facts, if it goes against left wing propoghanda then no amount of facts can change a mind.
BYOB has so much truth behind "some" of the points. Yes, many times people will start a company and offer something to the military to get rich quick on. Yes polititions tell their friends from this or that company to put in bids to get contracts for $$$ and get kickbacks from it. Poor people do indeed get sent to war more than wealthy people who somehow think their lives are more important thatn the next but dont go around thinking that everyone who is in a position of power or happens to have $$$ does not have a son/daughter or a family member fighting in these wars. I know for a fact that several congress members have sons and daughters fighting. The amount of people who unified after 9/11 being rich and poor who did it to stand for what America once stood for is fact. Looking to other countries like the ones these guys are from, yes, thats the case. Look at Russia? Who fights the wars for them? Almost every country has some guilt on that one. Do wars make things better? I guess we could argue that one all day but I'll tell you what, this jihad has no favor or face. It does not discriminate just because your a bleeding heart liberal and you think these guys just need a hug and that by allowing the teaching of their culture in school that this will somehow make them think your awesome and maybe they should have a posterboard with your face on the "do not murder" board.......... well, anyhow, ignorance is just that. Great song, good reasons to sing about what they are and one heck of a way to get peoples attention at the genocide/murder that happens every day.
