This Land Doesn't want Imperialist Yankees

This land is your land, it is not my land
From Homofornia to the World Trade Centre,
From the Korean Peninsula, to the Persian Gulf waters,
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.

Thier Christian Broadcasts are an insult to the Koran
They favor Israel, when they kill Arab man
Islam wants peace now, and not pornography
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.


As I went walking on the streets of Anbar
And saw before me that endless land war,
And saw above me an endless sand-storm, I said:
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.


I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamondless deserts,
And all around me, an adhan was sounding:
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.

Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said: U.S. Government Property,
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.

When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
Car Bombs exploding, dead soldiers burning;
The voice was chanting and the Yankee flag burning:
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.

One bright sunny morning in the shadow over Baghdad
By the IBN Sina Hospital I saw my people
As they layed dying, I stood there knowing; why
This land doesn't want Imperialist Yankees.

As Americans we are told by our President that if we leave Iraq many people will die and terrorists will take over your country. Most Americans don't want our soldiers there.

It would be real nice if you would write an article explaining the Iraqi peoples point of view. Most Americans would like to have that information.

Let's work together for Peace.

Yeah, I saw all those sad and angry Iraqis on the day they tore down the stature of Saddam Hussein. 

I propose a deal.  All of you Muslims get out of the west.  And we get out of your land.  If it were up to me, we'd never buy your oil again, nor would we trade with you.

We wouldn't sell you arms, we wouldn't allow you to immigrate.  We wouldn't allow you to get educated in our universities, nor buy our technology.  And we darn sure wouldn't send billions of dollars to the Palestinians anymore.

I wonder if the Kuwaitees were this upset when your country invaded them?  How much rebuilding did you do for the Kuwaitees?  Did you build them schools and mosques and water systems?  Of course not. But you set the oil fields on fire.

And then there were the Kurds, gassed with mustard gas and sarin, and other non-existant weapons of mass destruction.

Good!  Every land should have a culture and a strength of culture and a pride.  And those things should result in people ruling themselves in their own way.

The remaining question remaining is, what should those people do when a brutal dictator prevents them from realizing the proceeds of their mineral wealth?  What should those people do when a dictator is elected who  uses the Army to prevent power, water and sewer systems?  Who squashes all voices that want the people's good health, education and prosperity?

And then, after the dictator goes, what then?  Will those people rise up and take control of their own destiny?  Or will they remain so fragmented that any small village warlord can bomb an oil pipeline to prevent its wealth from reaching the people?  Will those people put religious conviction first and working sewer systems second, thus denying themselves a comfortable, secure life?
