no i don't, not along the lines of anti-semitism anyway . Political and religious disagreement/conflists could be a theme in a song or album ofcause, but not expressed in that way.

It states a true point Yeah.
Israel has used American money to massacre tower blocks and town squares of innocent civilians,

Which goes to show that the whole situation in the Middle East is pretty fucked up.

I'm not gonna discuss on that here, there is some truth in what you say, though. Rare enough.

My point is, that if you keep on reading the linked page, you'll find tons of anti-jewish Propaganda that was already used by the Nazis.

Indeed, i think America needs to stop funding both sides and either pull back te money, or fund peacekeeping and negotiating efforts.

Otherwise she just needs to take two steps back and let the people sort it out.

Its so much like Ireland a few years ago.

I have a thought though. What if the new American President is not quite such a dick head and Bono can be more true to himself when he has to approach him for various reasons. Do you think that it could affect his songs? I think that there is no doubt that Bono had to be a bit held back with what he would like to say because his first priority is to endear the President to support his causes and not to alienate him. More of a sincere approach?? Who knows.

I'm sorry I didn't really make it very clear. I was not trying to say that the new president may not be such a dick head as we think but I was referring to the fact that he may be less of a dick head as the current one. Our man Bono will use his celebrity to play the game of endearing the powerful men of this world to do what's best for the weak and the most needy and if it means allowing President Bush to think that he likes/ admires him then I'm afraid folks that that is what he will do.
