Martyr
[1998]
Lyrics and music by David Rovics
http://www.davidrovics.com
" I'm not saying what's right or wrong in this song, just what's real. You reap what you sow, and that applies to the USAF, the IMF and the CIA, too. I was thinking, after the late December bombings in Iraq, of a news article I read back in '91. Apparently, tens of thousands of men from Jordan were volunteering for the Iraqi armed forces, wanting to serve the cause of anti-imperialism. In the section of the application forms where they were asked of their qualifications for serving in the military, thousands replied with only one word: "martyr."- David Rovics.

Il terrorismo asimmetrico: la vicenda di Luis Posada Carriles.
Gli USA ospitano in Florida il noto terrorista Luis Posada Carriles. Cuba protesta e ne chiede l'estradizione.
(19 aprile 2005)
Luis Posada Carriles è un noto terrorista. Meno noto di Bin Laden ma con un curriculum di tutto rispetto e sicuramente con più esperienza sul campo.
Collaboratore del regime cubano di Batista, passò, dopo la rivoluzione dei barbutos e il conseguente crollo del dittatore cubano, alle dipendenze della CIA e dei poteri forti statunitensi. Di lui si sà con certezza - è reo confesso di molti reati, omicidi e attentati - che operò per anni in vari stati del sud america tessendo,... (continuer)

"This is one of the two songs on the CD that also appears on Living In These Times. It’s about the second city of Iraq, the most bombed city in one of the most bombed countries in the history of the world. I would say that I included it on this CD because of the ongoing relevance of the subject material, but mainly it’s on here because I like Allie’s harmony so much. (If you want to hear Allie’s harmonies to songs that are not on this CD, you have to come to a show.)" -David Rovics.

On Thursday 20th November 2003, a quarter of a million protestors brought central London to a halt in one of the biggest workday demonstrations ever. The image of a George Bush statue being toppled in Trafalgar Square was flashed round the world by the film crews and photographers and became a universal symbol of opposition to the US president’s visit. -David Rovics.
* Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London was one of the speakers at the demonstration. He was quoted as saying, "Let everyone recognise what has happened here today, that Britain does not support this war for oil. The British people will not tolerate being used to prop up the most corrupt and racist American administration in over 80 years."
