Et Tu, Burt?

"I heard Colin Powell tell the United Nations there
are weapons of mass destruction. I totally believed
him. I love this guy. He's like a hero. This was such
a bad, bad blemish mark on his life, that he was so
wronged.

"Then we go into Iraq. It looked like the heroic,
right thing to do.”

“It was the wrong thing to do. There was fabricated
information. There are no weapons of mass
destruction."


–– Burt Bacharach

"Stuff just kept going more wrong and more wrong here
as I was writing."

"Who Are These People?" sung by Elvis Costello,
expresses his disillusionment with the war in Iraq,
and forcefully asks, "Who are these people that keep
telling us lies and how did these people get control
of our lives and who'll stop the violence 'cause it's
out of control? Make 'em stop."
