Fallujans pay the price of liberation

18-11-2004 20:30

When a nation's identity, existence and dignity is put at risk, the sacrifice required is far more than the lives of a group of fighters, and that is why Falluja has chosen to carry the flag of resistance in Iraq, in the clear knowledge it may be wiped out.

though I was on a street far away from the blast-at least 5 miles distant.

18-11-2004 19:42

Bad reviews, ethical criticism, corporate band wagons, bad feelings - Band Aid!

Stations are banning it from their airwaves because its "Rubbish". Paul McCartney was so exhausted after recording his bit that he collapsed on the floor. The original cover was banned by record execs because it might frighten small children.

And what's worse, the lyrics have come in for major criticism... While no one is criticising the basic good intention, what might have been waking the world up 20 years ago to the issues of poverty and famine and fundraising, is no longer sufficient in todays world.

What else can go wrong?
