I'd also like to point out that the track is "Hey Ma" by James, and again, I am not associated with the band in any way, nor is this an "official" video - I heard the track, and felt the need to make something about this topic, compiling clips from YouTube. 5 years ago I was arguing for the conflict, on the grounds of the report from the British Government stating that Iraq had "Weapons Of Mass Destruction".
