Yeah but the US does it in the name of peace!
The Talaban are a bunch of idiots who have no regard for human life and as such have to be dealt
with drastically because they have to be shown in no uncertain terms that the rest of the world is
against them!

Feh. Trying to shift the emphasis so that all the onus for change falls on
one side or the other is pointless, and indeed contrary to the message of
the song. Everyone -- the terrorists and the US included -- needs to put
down their weapons. It's not like the US doesn't kill innocent victims.
And of course, those of us who live in America can do more to change the
behavior of the US than to change the behavior of foreign terrorists. So
it's up to us in particular to get the US to put down its weapons.

a violent US response right now)
