    by Justin Raimondo
    The news that the Rolling Stones are coming out with a song called "Sweet Neocon" that takes the administration to task for its Iraq war policy is ... music to my ears:
    "You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/ You call yourself a patriot. Well, I think your are full of sh*t!... How come you’re so wrong, my sweet neo-con."
    Wrong? Neocons? They’ll never admit it, although the whole world knows it.
    That’s a defining characteristic of these (…)

    “My Country Went To War” (sung to “My Country ‘Tis of the Thee”) My country went to war Just to please Cheney’s whore Hal-i-bur-ton. Out near the Euphrates Destroy antiquities And murder everyone you please Oh, don’t forget the oil.
    My country lied to me But it won’t cop a plea We’ll stay the course. Bomb them until they’re free We’ll win their liberty (…)

    It’s a Grand Old Hoax (sung to It’s a Grand Old Flag)
    It’s a grand old hoax Full of daggers and cloaks One the press may forever supress When the towers fell They did not dwell On why George remained in that class Or how they came straight down All the way to the ground Just as if the demo was planned The evidence does not support The story they told this land
    For the next surprise That was greeting our eyes Saw the pentagon burning in flames The key to our defense Breached without (…)

    In the 1960s, this was a popular chant for antiwar demonstrations against U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson:
    "Hey, hey, LBJ.
    How many kids did you kill today?"
    In alignment with this tradition, I suggest the current similar chant for today’s antiwar demonstrations. The chant addresses George W. Bush:
    "Excuse me, GWB.
    How many coffins will there be?"
    My memoirs about the Vietnam war years and antiwar activism are online at (…)
