Violence is in, pop-pickers. You've seen those pictures of those troops whooping it up in Iraqi jails. Violence is clearly fun. It's cool. It basically rocks! Just ask Bush and Rumsfeld. They kicked the whole thing off.
Perhaps they're secret Marilyn Manson fans -- I mean, his music was blamed for priming two Columbine high-school kids for a killing spree. And maybe it was they who ordered U.S. troops to blast Sunni militiaman in Fallujah with the AC/DC album "Back in Black" and songs such as "Shoot to Thrill"?
What music are Bush and Rumsfeld getting high on? I think we should be told! Over in Japan, my guess is they'd feel at home at the gigs of two of this country's most dangerous bands, featuring a bunch of frothing psychos and, as it happens, a bearded bloke called Osama.
