Canadian Bruce Cockburn's song, "If I had a rocket launcher… (I'd make somebody pay)" came out in 1984 in response to American military action in Central America…On this video, look at the faces of the Central American villagers and who do they remind you of? This stirring song is somewhat echoed by one of the most important pieces of the Gaza slaughter, philosopher Michael Neumann's piece on Counterpunch basically saying, We all recognize the right of an assaulted people to cause civilian deaths in the other population… I don't know how I feel about this. I live in a peaceful country, I am not under fire. But it is important to discuss these ideas.
