[2008]
Lyrics & Music by Stuart MacLeod

Stu MacLeod is a singer-songwriter currently living in Edinburgh, and producing songs for the local band The 48, as well as various solo numbers. This song was inspired by "the situation in the Middle East (and various others regions which seem to follow the same pattern) and by the fact that all the negotiations in the world might not dissuade certain factions...the song laments the militarism and blinkered vision of so many of the parties involved".
