Don't blame Obama

For those of us who really, really hoped Obama would be a more progressive, less war-mongering President .... sorry.

But we should have remembered that it is the military and industry that runs American politics... not the President - poor guy - he never had a chance. So as the 'free world' marches lock-step into yet another senseless war, I am remembering Pete Seeger's lyrics to Where have all the flowers gone?

Where have all the young men gone? Long time passing. Where have all the young men gone? Long time ago.
Where have all the young men gone? Gone to soldiers ev'ry one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time ago.
Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, ev'ry one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone? Long time passing. Where have all the graveyards gone? Long time ago.
Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers, ev'ry one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
