Lebanon - no bravery ... only sadness

Was listening to my James Blunt CD in the car it struck me that the words of this song is really applicable to the current situation in Lebanon and its neighbour - and it is applicable to both sides - nice one oh mighty leaders of our world, hope you are really proud of the bravery you are showing in order to advance your own political, economical and religious agendas but remember the people on the ground, knows in Blunt's words 'Only sadness'.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families‚ turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
