The War Protester in the Streets of Hollywood
Through the screen of the burka
A woman in the streets of Baghdad
Sees her life enclosed…
Her country is being held in Saddam's hands
Her femininity is a mirror of darkness.
Thousands of miles away in the streets of Hollywood
A beautiful American woman freely voices her liberty
She is marching with an anti-war placard,
Not seeing the tears of the woman in the burka…

"....A disingenuous filmmaker [Michael Moore - Fahrenheit 9/11] who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace when in fact it was a place of indescribable cruelty." --U.S. Senator McCain, August 30, 2004
