-----------------------------------------------------

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again

Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Re "insurgency!"

Dear Tavana, I believe you are confusing two different issues; one being legitimacy (or lackthereof) of NATO air strikes, and the other, the attitude of general public towards democratic reforms! Even under occupation (which is not the case in Libya), a nation can assert its sovereignty by demonstrating its capacity for maintaining a civil society. A good example is our own people who do everything in their power to impose their democratic aspirations on a brutal regime while majority of whom oppose foreign military invasion and renounce violence as a political strategy (e.g. their restraint in dealing with captured riot police and basij members during street protests)!

Unnecessary acts of violence and vengeance that are mainly rooted in tribal make up of a society have nothing to do with insurgency. Morover, what kind of a damge do you believe brutalizing Ghadafi's dead body would do to the NATO forces? Blaming all shortcomings on NATO would only mask the problems and lead to chaos and a dysfunctional society!

Following in our footsteps

This is going to be another dictatorship like Iran. You can't make a nation democratic and law abiding by force.

The Planet of Apes!

"Such savage acts of barbarity are an ominous premonition of looming bloody episodes in Libya's future." Could not say that any better about the NATO's savagary bombardment of the Libyan's forces on the ground & forcing its hand picked government over the Libyan people! The 'insurgency' is a natural outcome of such as it happened in Iraq & Afghanistan!

ننت به بابات مجاني داد؟

I have always abhored the sheer amount of vulgarity in some languages including ours. But what I find disturbingly more vulgar is the hypocrisy of those entities whose critical views never extend beyond the set of guidelines dictated to them by their paymasters.

Excellent point!

I taotally agree dear Fred! A mature, civilized people would value justice and order over instant gratification of revenge! Indeed, a people who commits such atrocities demonstrates its lack of trust and faith in justice and is on no track to democracy, nor to peace and order! As per the old Persian saying; "saali keh nekoost az baharah peydast!"

Much like the dawn of 1979 revolution that our people's turning a blind eye on IRI's inaugural atrocities (i.e. shooting of Hoveyda et al) resulted in perpetuation of IRI's atrocities against the entire population, such savage acts of barbarity are an ominous premonition of looming bloody episodes in Libya's future!

مشت در ...نی‌

اگر به دوستان قانونمدارِ فرهنگسالار بر نخورد، میخواستم فضولتاً
عرض کنم که قضاوت در مورد خوشی‌ یا ناخوشی این خبر را بگذاریم به عهده ملت
ستم دیده لیبی‌ که قرار شده است که اینجور که بویش میاید هزینه
عملیات نیکوکارانه ناتو را بپردازد........یادش به خیر، اون زمانی که وقاحت و
وحشیگریِ دنیای متمدنِ صنعتی‌نظامی ، حدی داشت....

لزوماً بخششی هم در کار نیست

درخواست فقط این که  بخشش و یا مجازات را قانون معین کند. ولی‌ بطور کلی‌ طرز برخورد مقاله صحیح است.

کُنبزه و خیار

نه با محاکمه مسخره و نمایشی صدام ملت عراق فهمید که کاکا سیا در مملکتشان چگونه فعالیت میکرده و میکند و نه بر پا کردن چنان نمایشی برای قذافی مردم لیبی را آگاه میکرد. بعد از ۱۰ سال امروز میبینم که چه بر عراق گذشت و میگذرد. ۱۰ سال دیگر صبر کنیم تا ببینیم چقدر خبر خوش؟؟؟ امروز غلامان دست به سینه کاکا سیا خوش بوده.

بُزک نمیر. بهار؟؟؟ عرب آمده. کُنبزه و خیار آمده. از قطر و امارات و عربستون و کویت آمده.
