"i don't beleive in gaurded boarders...and their stinking tourture state"I don't always believe/agree with Cockburn but his talent commands respect, man he is good.

true, but not fighting back is weak, so what do you 'we' should do? answer:hit corporations that are pro-war.

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. Violence is rarely the answer... but I believe the desire to see evil met with justice is nearly universal.

well, I'm not so sure that the Blues might be considered as being in the same category as this, but I will add ...Mr Cockburn was doing this before it became "cool" because his HEART is in it, and it's the right thing to do. Not so much for the publicity.

Coming to a city near you.

Are you kidding? That kind of songwriting (expressing a desire for social justice) has been going on for generations. What do you think the blues are all about? Ever heard of Woody Guthrie?

Another great song and video: "Call It Democracy."

I love the ending where he walks in Toronto, and the background noise becomes clearer.
