Iraq II - Shock and Awe was definitely a huge part of my political awakening. I'm still saddened (but no longer amazed) that more people didn't figure it out at the time, and that so many still haven't figured it out.

    The pride I never had, the nationality that I never felt
    Saddam was bad, and the American's even more so
    They made me grow like i was missing part of my torso
    But I never picked up a grenade in my garden
    I never saw people I love die starving
    I never saw my family die through many years of sanctions
    While the rulers family lived in palaces and mansions
    Never had a family member kidnapped for a ransom
    I never lost a friend to violence that was random
    Bombings, occupation, torture, intimidation
    A million dead people doesn't equal liberation
