We are here today to talk about an invasion
An occupation and a war which has ravaged a country whose history is littered with foreign interference
Opposing the war in Iraq did not mean you were automatically pro-Saddam  
If anyone was pro-Saddam, that was Ronald Reagan and his administration
Opposing the war in Afghanistan does not mean you were pro-Al Qaeda
If anybody could be called pro-Al Qaeda, with all due respect for his current position regarding Palestine, it would be Jimmy Carter's administration and the director of the CIA at the time, Robert Gates, a man who interestingly currently serves as Obama's Secretary of Defense
Opposing the war in Afghanistan does not make you pro-Taliban
If anybody was pro-Taliban, it was Condoleezza Rice and her cohorts at the oil company Unocal
The Taliban themselves were orphans of the Afghan War with the Russians, in which Al-Qaeda was backed by the CIA under both Jimmy Carter's and Ronald Reagan's administrations
Nobody in their right mind could deny the Taliban's hideous oppression of women, but it didn't start on September 11th, 2001
Their horrendous regime was in power long before hand
When Bush and Blair tried to justify this war, all of a sudden women's rights in Afghanistan was so very important
Women in Afghanistan were persecuted long before September 11th, and are still subject to persecution on a daily basis under the clearly un-democratic Karzai regime, which the Americans and the British are currently so steadfast in supporting
Condoleezza Rice and Unocal were not concerned about the women of Afghanistan when they were sitting at the table with the Taliban negotiating lucrative oil deals
Besides, in a last ditch attempt to avoid invasion and regime change at the hands of a foreign power, which is of course illegal under international law, the Taliban offered Bin Laden to the Americans
However, despite this, the invasion and occupation still went ahead
As if the American government have a monopoly on morality
As if the American government differentiate morally when looking for business partners
It has never been about creating moral governments
It has been about creating governments that are open to manipulation and are willing to do business
The American government like the British government know that Karzai is corrupt
They know they have installed a bunch of warlords and drug-dealers 
Karzai's own brother is a well known drug-lord with his fingers all over the heroin trade in that country
For the record, in the first year of the occupation, the heroin production in that country increased 1000% and now accounts for over 90% of the heroin on Britain's streets today
The largest amount of heroin coming out of Afghanistan was from the Helmand province, which interestingly was the area of the highest number of British troops were occupying
Make of that what you will
If these occupying forces were really interested in helping the Afghan people, they would put in place a system where by the opium produced in the country could be used all over the world for strictly medicinal purposes, thus giving the country a massive and legitimate source of income from it's poppy fields
There is nothing noble, romantic, or righteous about this occupation
While the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq is widely understood to have been a disaster, there are still those in this country to argue that this war in Afghanistan is somehow a legitimate war for the good of humanity, as if any government, particularity our government has ever gone to war in the interest of humanity

Lowkey on Afghanistan Part 1 With Lyrics

Produced by FAITH SFX

This war does not in any way serve the people of this country's interests
We have absolutely nothing to gain from invading and occupying another country which the British have failed at occupying many times before 
Saddam Hussein, though a despicable murderous tyrant, posed absolutely no threat to the people of this country
The Taliban, though a group of abhorrent oppressive maniacs, never posed any threat to the people of this country
People die in wars
People are orphaned in wars
People are imprisoned in wars
People get raped in wars
People kill in wars
And people are haunted by their experiences of war
But some people do strive in wars
Some people do profit in wars
Arms companies like BAE Systems and Lockheed make billions from wars
The oil companies have made billions from these wars, but the people of this country do not gain anything from these wars
Not the British people
Not the American people
And not the Afghan people
There is nothing charitable about bombing somebody's country and occupying it
People have argued that this war was waged in order to defend the people of this country from possible terrorist attacks 
On the contrary, this war has endangered British citizens all over the world 
Not only has it cost British taxpayers millions of pounds, it has taken the lives of over 200 British soldiers and stolen the humanity of countless others 
Rather than deter terrorist attacks, this occupation, like the Iraq one, has only endangered this country
There was a terrorist attack on British soil in 2005, but that was only after the British occupations of these countries had been underway for years already
The only lesson that can be learned from such events is that Britain's tireless support of the American empire and it's imperialist wars have hugely endangered the people of this country
While America's bombing has spread to the Swat Valley in Pakistan with Obama's remote control drones dropping bombs which have displaced at least two million and killed many, Gordon Brown has pledged to send more British troops to Afghanistan to kill and die
That is all that is required of the people that are sent there
Kill and die, while sacrificing your own humanity
But don't ever ask "Why?"
These soldiers are being told that this war is for the good of their country, and more worryingly, for the good of humanity
Where those humans that sent you to war will not lose one minute of sleep over your death, they want you to be robots, and that is all
If you are lucky, you will kill, and be killed
If you are unlucky, you will kill, and survive, only to live the rest of your life tortured by your past, but for what?
It is not for the good of your country, the United Kingdom, or Great Britain
The Queen couldn't care less about your life
Her grandson Harry did join the Army, just long enough to refer to one of his fellow troops as a packy, and the people those soldiers are supposedly liberating, as ragheads
The prince Harry episode is actually indicative of the indoctrination that is vital in this process of justification
They do not want their robots to ask questions
"Shut up, take a gun, and kill some ragheads"
That's all this country requires of it's robots
But, the truth is, throughout this process, the only person dehumanized is the British soldier himself
So when they tell you to "support the troops," the only real way of supporting the troops is by bringing them home now and today
This war does not serve the British people
It only harms us
It does not serve the soldiers themselves
It only harms them
The question is, "How can it possibly serve the interests of this country?"
An interesting way of working out whose interests British Prime Ministers were serving when in power, is to look at who they take jobs for, after there term is finished
For John Major, it was The Carlyle Group, a company with very close ties to the Bush family
For Tony Blair, it was JP Morgan, a company who made millions from the war in Iraq
Who will it be for Gordon Brown?  
Who is Gordon Brown working for?
That is my question, because it certainly isn't the British people

[Intro: K-Rino]
Can you imagine a place, where all the trials
And tribulations of the world, don't exist ha-ha
It's a real place, but right now it only exists in man's mind
Because the reality of it is that, until the time comes
For you to get there, you can only picture it
So what I wanna do, is give you a sneak preview of it
From my perception, yeah, watch this

[K-Rino]
Nothing but happiness and peace felt daily
A place where your children and babies can play safely
Where people genuinely believe in being friendly
No such thing as hatred and no memory of envy
With no problems to face every morning when you awaken
You can sleep with doors wide open and nobody will break in
Where love's force field is too solid to be shaken
Where each child grows up to be great women and great men
No depression or loneliness and no sad moments
And people full grown who've never heard of being homeless
Where we manifest our gifts and no dream is too distant
And there are no hospitals cause sickness is non existent
And love perpetuates itself, while no child suffers
And treatment of one another is not based around color
And you'll never hear slander come from anyone's tongue
And a hundred years old is still considered young

[Hook]
In a perfect world, there would be no pain
In a perfect world, no stress no strain
In a perfect world, we would all be wise
And see the whole world, through God's eyes
In a perfect world, no war no crime
In a perfect world, we would share one mind
In a perfect world, and all we see
Is peace, and real L-O-V-E

[K-Rino]
Nations wouldn't verbally spar with one another
Point out flaws or seek to go to war with each other
Each person has a place and a purpose destined to flourish
No child is ever hurt or malnourished, money is worthless
We learned in the most spiritually advanced schools
And everything is done God's way, no manmade rules
And poverty is no longer in man's vocabulary
Erased from human thought, recollection or dictionary
No dream, the most wonderful thing you've ever seen
Every living being gleaming with infinite self esteem
And belief in the all wise, ruler and best planner
We walk the planet in the most harmonious manner
Where those who rest and hid, get uncountable blessings
Total strangers are trustworthy with your most prized possessions
If a man gives his word, he keeps it with no deception
And a mind full of knowledge is the only loaded weapon

[Hook]
In a perfect world, there would be no pain
In a perfect world, no stress no strain
In a perfect world, we would all be wise
And see the whole world, through God's eyes
In a perfect world, no war no crime
In a perfect world, we would share one mind
In a perfect world, and all we see
Is peace, and real L-O-V-E

[K-Rino]
Is this Heaven or the hereafter, the geographical area post rapture
The Book of Life's unclear chapter
If it's in the sky, then who derived it?
Find someone who's ever died and visualized it and returned here to describe it
Since none, have carried out that mission
The question isn't if it's real, the question is is it a place or a condition
See Heaven has a great description, but men exaggerate and create division
Make up written lies and fabricate depictions
So stop imagining, and understand the basics
Your place being in a heavenly state is self created
That old statement life is what you make it, is a true one
Your old existence erase it and replace it with a new one
See years of resentment left your progress restricted
New love can never move into your heart till hate's evicted
And this place that I've pictured
Look inside if you wondering where is it, you don't have to give your spirit up to visit

[Hook]
In a perfect world, there would be no pain
In a perfect world, no stress no strain
In a perfect world, we would all be wise
And see the whole world, through God's eyes
In a perfect world, no war no crime
In a perfect world, we would share one mind
In a perfect world, and all we see
Is peace, and real L-O-V-E
