Terrorism and Marxism

Scott Andrew, having finally discovered Darryl Worley’s smash hit, Have You Forgotten?, takes Darryl to task for “suggesting that Saddam buddied up with Osama.” I always remember in Tom Clancy’s Patriot Games how the IRA terrorists were training at a camp in Libya (and taken out by French anti-terrorist commandos). Of course, in real life, IRA terrorists are never found in places like Palestine, are they? It isn’t really as complicated as some people think. Saddam funded terrorists. Why do so many groups have links to each other? Simple: most of them received funding (prior to 1991) from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Remember Carlos the Jackal? Remember he was a true-believing marxist? Who else do we know who was one? Saddam Hussein. In fact, a lot of the funding for the anti-war movement came from Marxist sources. Even those like Bin Laden, who was admittedly firmly on the other side, were able to find common cause in their hatred of the west. Personally, I think the sentiments that Darryl were trying to convey were perfectly correct.

Eh, it's more like I was taking him (and Nashville) to task for shooting fish in a barrel. It's easily the most boring, uninspired, utterly transparent marketing move to come out of the country music industry recently. It's like, duh, Darryl, of course we haven't forgotten. Maybe the next big hit will be title "Babies are Good, You Don't Hate Babies, Do You?" Not that I expect deep intellectual discourse from pop culture, but then again, I'm a gutless moderate.
