Neil Young's best (and shortest) protest song--"Soldier"?
Just get back from a 9/11 memorial where a teary-eyed National Guardsman spoke about his love for this country and his support for President Bush. Brought to mind a beautiful Neil Young song that sums up how I feel after being moved by a man so misused by his government:

"Soldier"

Soldier, your eyes,
they shine like the sun
I wonder why.
Soldier, your eyes
shine like the sun
I wonder why.

Jesus, I saw you
walkin' on the river
I don't believe you.
You can't deliver right away
I wonder why.

Jesus, your eyes
shine like the sun
I wonder why.


My own little protest
