3 Courageous Texan Girls

In 2003 these Texan women took up a verbal fight with President Bush, Fox TV, the Free Republic and a large part of US country music DJs and audiences. It cost them about half their audience as it seems but they also seem not to mind.

Do not overlook that it took Neil Young and other like heroes till 2006, many intermediate defeats, big failures and compatriot dead soldiers and a midterm election to get on this train. And they tell amazing stories in that video about what happened. Btw, he woman in the start picture is not Miss Maines but Martie Maguire who said this in Andrea Sachs's 2006 winddown of the case in Time Magazine: "I'd rather have a smaller following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith. We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do".

This editorial stuff here was against the so called Iraq war on the grounds of judging it stupid and ill conceived in the first place. Yet we did not share in the form of critique Mrs. Chirac, Schröder and Fisher had for it. Still we found why, how and for what reasons Mr. Blair took part in it even worse. If it is about the Balkans and the so called Middle East, we still urgently recommend the British stay at home. At least for the next fifty years or so. Their lies have wreaked enough havock there even more than in other places.

BTW: Here's military analysis why that war was and is foolish (by our favourite military writer Mr. van Creveld) and from the beginning could and still can result only in costly withdrawal.

Thanks for reading and watching this sentimental stuff.
