mistermcgee, who ever sent you that e-mail, don't know alot about history!
get back to them and tell them they should go back to school as nearly 50% is wrong.
you can't rely on unknowns sending you e-mail.

mistermcgee:

yes, we all know, at least I hope so, german history. let us hope we all will remember and learn from it.

do you know your recent history as well? vietnam, saddam, noriega, bin laden. they are your children! american administration made them just to get rid of them later. do you still have the abilty to see a certain pattern behind these cases.

did you know that the us military during the vietnam war dropped more bombs on laos a country they were not at war with, than during ww II.

at the beginning of his term president bush did loose all his interest in the eastern conflict in israel. now suddenly he wants to bring democracy to irak?

do you really believe that if the american goverment is not able or willing to understand the german/french point of view they will be able to teach an iraki mind democracy.

anyway I could go on and on like this. finally, yes saddam is a dictator and yes he is evil and yes it would be nice to get rid of him. but why did bush's father did not take care of the problem when american troops were standing at the gates of bhagdad? and where is the plan for the time after saddam. and why isn't the american administration harvesting democracy in the arab states they are friends with. saudia arabia is a dictatorship and I think 15 people who were part of the destruction of the world trade towers came from there.

the world is not black and white, good and evil!

may you be able to see the world as it is and not the way you want it to be.

Juize, chill out. If Prince hasn't made a statement about the war in Iraq then that is his business. Hi is a MUSICIAN. Just because he escells in one particular field (music) it doesn't mean that we should wait for his every thought on every single issue. He IS NOT a politician.
Asking someone who has made their living through predominantely (sp?) making music to comment on war is much the same as asking a baker to advise a mechaninc on how to change an engine. My expertise is in the martial arts (I am an instructor) and I would never dream of making statements to a bank manager about how best to go about his business, much the same as I wouldn't expect a pilot to start lecturing me on the martial arts.

Let Prince make his music and if he decides to make a statement about the war, then so be it. Remember Prince doesn't have access to all of the classified information that our politicians do so he can't make as educated a statement as they could. In the same way I wouldn't appreciate George W Bush giving me his views on The Rainbow Children and suggesting to maybe lower the bass on this track and maybe get Tony M to come and rap over track one!

Did u listen to Avalanche?

Did u listen to the Cross?

Some other songs consisting statements...the opposite of NATO is OTAN...

Why not actualise the statement as a citizen of the earth?

One doesn't need to know classified info on avoiding a war, where are all the hidden weapons?

Does America hold irregular weapons(chemical & biological) in is vault?

Questions which are to be questioned by people with brains & guts of course...

U know martial arts then u know avoid a fight is the smart way...but disscusing the agenda is a good way!

I will not chill on this 'cause I heard a lot of preaching on a lot of issues from the so called Artist as a musician, he pulled a lot of topics, but sadly most of them only in a lesson of history not presently...

Peace

America sold Iraque weapons & biological weapons when Bush senoir was their president.
Now they search an enemy and found 'em in iraque when Bush junior is their president.
Funny how oil & laying a false scent from domestic problems in the US of A is getting a reason for war.


Yeah, right. The stupid white men in the US, killin' the indians, 'joinin'' slaves, formin' the KluKluxClan, allowin' everyone 2 wear a weapon ...oh my god.

The enemy is nearer than u think, america..


...do me a favour & paint the white house black

Maybe him making a statement is against his religion.
It might mean he is being of this world or worldly.

Did he say anything after Sept11th?

does it really matter? who gives a crap. half the world
is opposed to this war, and so far, to no effect at all.
what's more is that most of the countries in europe all
have their own hidden [well, partly exposed] agenda's for
being pro or anti. Everyone is just saving their own
skin and trying to hide their own skelletons. meanwhile
no one gives a fuck about average Joes. There's money at
stake here. Shitloads of money. To think that normal
people with normal jobs and normal incomes are gonna make
a difference at this is just silly. The only thing we're
allowed to do is wait and pray and sit this thing out
hoping we won't catch small-pocks or a h-bomb in the face.
And who would you blame for that? And why? There's always
someone to blame, who'll inevitably point the finger at
someone else and so on and so on. It's a loop. And a hoot.
And the biggest scam of history.

I agree with Jimmynothing, prince is a famous musician. I look to him to bring the funk. However, I doubt that the world is waiting for him to express his opinion on geopolitical events. Trust me, Prince's opinion on this is waaay down on the list of things that we need to be worried about right now.

If he wants to then cool, that's his right, but does he have an obligation to? No moreso than anybody else.

Much of Prince's music speaks of peace.

There is a song that goes like this, maybe you have heard of it...





NEW POWER GENERATION

Lay down your funky weapon.
Yeah Y'all, here we go
pumpin' the big noise in the 90's.

Pardon me 4 living, but this is my world 2
I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to u
Pardon me 4 breathing, can we borrow some of your air?
the problem with u and your kind is that u don't know love is there

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.
We r the New Power Generation, we want 2 change the world.
The only thing that's is our way is u.

Money don't matter 2 night (1991)

Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
2 send a child off 2 war
So what if we're controllin all the oil
Is it worth the chil dying 4?
If long life is all we live 4,
Then long life will come to pass
Anything is better than the picture of a child
In a cloud of gas
And u think u got it bad

¡may we one day be able to see the world as it is and not the way we want it to be!

I am sooo looking forward to the upcoming military action. I call it the `W` World Tour. First we nuke Iraq, and then we nuke North Korea, and then we nuke France, and then we nuke Germany, and if we have any bombs left over `W` is gonna nuke both of our local org Pro-Saddam supporters (aka klaatu and Juize). You Pro-Saddam supporters can whine all you want to but remember the immortal words of Sun-Tzu: "He who holds the power sets the policy". You hear that sound? Its a world of hurt coming Saddam`s way.

Thanks for that, can't get any clearer than that.

Check out Old Friends 4 Sale.

Night fell darkest in Persia. (Bibical name for Iraq)
It used to flow Blue now its flowing Black. (ocean before and after the oil was poured into it)(Kuwait)
Many doctors can try, but only Heaven knows why,
when it comes to Love why do some men turn their backs?

Kind of interesting I think!


Prince's music speaks for itself, he doesn't have to make a statement, he already has.
How you gonna get my back when you fronting.

Oh, u don't even know very much about politics & history.

What comes in the mind of ol' stupid Rumsfeld 2 bomb a country which leader seemed 2 b his pal back in 1983 under Reagan ?

Stupid white men.

Maybe u should bomb the naziheads of republican (includin' Charlton Heston. Old men with guns & lack of brain r much 2 dangerous).


Man, sorry I'm upset..
