Anti war related, mostly English language songs from many protest music genres, most with clips, covers, albums, writers and links to lyrics and/or audio downloads. Songs newly written or remixed for the 2003 attack on Iraq as well as timeless classics are among this comprehensive, yet growing, list. All of these should serve us well for the promised "war that will not end in our lifetimes" or at least until the next election.

One good song with a message can bring a point more
deeply to more people than a thousand rallies --- Phil Ochs

If there is something to be changed in this world,
then it can only happen through music. --- Jimi Hendrix

.A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once,
but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over. --- Joe Hill.
