The Fly
Remember, U2 has always been a band concerned with politics so accept this before you go into that arena.
But Bono - if you are reading this (I f*cking doubt it but)...
Stop trying to influence American audiences - it's a waste of f*cking time.
The majority haven't a f*cking clue - and when the concert is over they will just go back to their own lives.
If you want to make an American audience happy then just shout U-S-A - and you can guarantee they will all respond like something out of a Spinal Tap outtake.
The only time a Yank will give a shit about the politics of war will be when their brother or sister comes home draped in the American flag - the same flag that they fought for.
And you know what's sad about that? They didn't die for the flag - they died for the dollars.
How much is the life of one of your soldiers worth? Ask Bush.
It's the fact that the soldiers were lied to and thrown into a situation where they weren't given the full story is what really pisses me off - and I'm not even American!
These soldiers DO want to fight for freedom and democracy and do believe in your country, but they died not for these things, but for the bank account of a certain George Bush.
And before the dickheads on this forum write "woo hoo we Yanks are loaded" then why don't YOU volunteer for duty or are you scared shitless of being killed?
Keep hiding behind this forum because nobody cares about your little wank-stain of a life.
YOU are not loaded. George Bush and his cronies ARE.
You have to ask yourselves why did America back Iraq in the war against Iran then, when Bush got into power, decided to attack Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that have NEVER been found - hmmm satellites that can see an flea on a dog's back, but couldn't find a major weapons factory??? Wake up!
Saddam was a f*cking war-mongering nutter (sounds like someone we all know) but you only took him out when it suited your country!
I say 'your' country, but you have to remember that you lot are pawns in a far bigger f*cking game and you can shout U-S-A as much as you want, but when some sick terrorist decides to blow up your children then I hope you have the guts to look further into your country's political agenda.
I hate terrorism as much as I hate American politics, but you Yanks stood back and watched OUR country being attacked by the IRA (bunch of Irish bastard chicken shits) and even had Irish-Americans funding them - handing out the dollars on St Patricks Day!
The IRA are terrorists and have blown up INNOCENT men, women and CHILDREN (children for f*cks sake!!!) to get thier 'political' message across, but if you believe in the politics of terrorism then this is what you Yanks have coming your way - BIG TIME!
I was devastated when 9/11 happened and haven't really got over all the images that I witnessed through the media - and I hope this never EVER happens again, but I'd say America is on the brink of a nuclear terrorist attack and when this happens I hope you ALL look into the causes of terrorism because it's not all about religion (well maybe that veil that your country uses to stand behind) it's about military aggression, poverty and the politics of power.
And before you think 'it will never happen' then think back to 9/11 and how surreal that day was and how it all seemed like scene from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie - hmmm, that name rings a bell...
When a member of your family is fighting for their last breath and you're filled with despair then I hope you'll be happy in the fact that your president will be puffing on a cigar counting HIS money and lining up his next move.
You live in a democracy so you CAN change things.
And I don't give a shit about the little pricks that will answer this shouting 'aren't we great' because they can go and f*ck themselves!
I'm only interested in telling Americans what's going on as I think you have the means to become a great country and a fighter for true freedom - not a politicians idea of $reedom.
The UK is also a pile of shite, but America is a bigger target for the terrorists of this world.
You are too big to be attacked by a country, but big enough to be attacked by terrorists.
I also realise that I could be pissing in the wind, here - just like Bono is when he tries to educate you.
If Bono stood there for an hour telling you about how your country is affecting the world then he would be boo-ed off - whereas if he throws a snippet of a reference to it into a song then he might just get away with.
It's quite scary when you find Americans willing to lynch someone who is protesting against the war whereas the reality is that their soldiers ARE ACTUALLY being lynched in Iraq.
I don't hate Americans, but I think the majority are uninformed - a nd it's these 'uninformed' that will be on board that tube when a bomb goes off. It will be these uninformed whose families will be devastated. It will be these uninformed that were indifferent. It will be these uninformed who never voted. It will be these uninformed who will die.
Bono, save your breath for an audience that will listen.
