Who are those people? So pat-riot-ically sittin' back of tables POn their asses, lickin' labels, tryin' to change me. You'd think the way they act, the way they carry on, You'd think that I was the devil's Seventh Son....
I'm still stymied about what exactly is repugnant about Hezbollah's "ideology"? They don't carpet bomb whole countries back to the stone age. We do. ...and then the American people and their leaders joke about it, or write it off as just-so-much collateral damage, or plan more carnage because the last bit of mayhem didn't produce the intended results (Israel and the Pentagon have been actively planning to invade Lebanon since 2002. The invasion was supposed to start in September, but the Israelis took advantage of the capture of their soldiers and jumped the gun). Hezbollah's treatment of women (would anyone care to indict the WHOLE of muslim culture?) may not be the western world norm, but on the other hand they don't use the women in their society as medical guinea pigs for ... carcinogenic hormonal therapies to stave off the effects of junk food diets on the bone mass, mass media induced behavior modification causing them to become malnourished to the point of sickness or death for "beauty"... more. Is their something I'm missing? What's repugnant? Priviliged people in industrialized first world 'freedom slave' societies passin' judgment on cultures they don't live with. That's repugnant to the people upon whom the judgement is passed. It makes me feel like singing... I pledge no allegiance to your flag. I feel I got me some damn good reasons for feelin' bad. Way they take away ev'ry mother's son, If you want freedom now, it's got to be won. It's only bullets. It's just a gun. Ain't gon' hurt no one. I don't know what they must be thinkin'. Makin' decisions on a hard night's drinkin'. Momma, gon' take your little boy. Gonna make him 'to a man, Make him a stranger in a strange land. [Chorus:] Freedom slaves What have you done Freedom slaves With ev'ry mother's son? Freedom slaves Can't ya see that we're all freedom slaves? Freedom slaves What have you done? Freedom slaves And all for number one. Freedom slaves It's clear to see that we're all freedom slaves. No sign of justice nor liberty By takin' an Indian Nation, 'cause they was all that we wanted to be. All good people from the Kingdom of the Sun. Welcome to freedom. Now, there's work to be done. It's only natural to know it's wrong. Why did it go so long? I don't know what next they'll be killin', Rapin' the land with pollution and spillin'. Here's to the tired, to the hungry, to the helpless and the poor. Is there no glory for blisters and sores? [Chorus] Who are those people? So pat-riot-ically sittin' back of tables POn their asses, lickin' labels, tryin' to change me. You'd think the way they act, the way they carry on, You'd think that I was the devil's Seventh Son. But it's only words. It's just a song. Ain't gonna hurt no one. [Chorus] Freedom slaves. Freedom slaves. Freedom slaves. Attention! About Face! March! Left, right, left, right, left, right.

Hizbullah, on the other hand, seems extremely well-organized and motivated. Too bad their ideology is so repugnant.
