<i>The war itself is encouraging these dark aspects of human nature, by bringing Americans and Iraqis together in an environment full of tension, fear, hatred and violence. And if the war itself is creating these evils, how can it hope to end them?</i>
The first sentence could/should be re-written.

And is a good reason to oppose starting one on general principals.
The ends needed to justify these means must be astronomical to make sense. The only ends that are, IMHO, justifiable are survival, survival, and survival.
Setting aside the question of what on earth anybody could possibly find humourous about this demented song, I choose instead to take issue with your observation that the song is "Not that big of a deal"???

BAGHDAD, June 30 -- The U.S. Army is investigating allegations that American soldiers raped and killed a woman and killed three of her family members in a town south of Baghdad, then reported the incident as an insurgent attack, a military official said Friday.
The alleged crimes occurred in March in the insurgent hotbed of Mahmudiyah. The four soldiers involved, from the 502nd Infantry Regiment, attempted to burn the family's home to the ground and blamed insurgents for the carnage, according to a military official familiar with the investigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was providing details not released publicly."
I think that the marine was just bored and wanted to write a humorous song to pass the time and give himself and his buds somthing to laugh about. Nothing is wrong with the song, cause its just that a song. Dont take it too seriously, it's not that big of a deal.
It's really the dark side of the corporate world. When we talk about globalisation, employee friendly HR polices, growth oriented strategies and equal opportunity employers, such incidents of harrassment and threatening present a different picture.
Yimprasert is right in filing a case and fighting for the rights of a victim of such harrassment. The Court's ruling in her favour is a testimony othe fact. Way to go Yimprasert!!!
