That's hilarious Zuhkov.... do you think Helter Skelter is about race wars too?
I have a hard time believing you're not already aware of this but - the poem is mainly used to justify action, both military or otherwise, against genocide and other injustices. You know, like all that "policing the world" stuff you object to. The poem addresses the type of thinking where one might say "it's just the Zionists they want to kill". People use it the same way they use the whole "well we would have never fought the Nazis in WWII then" argument. I'm sorry you took it so literally, and missed the larger statement there. That's why people keep having to "butcher" it to get the point across. You know, like just in case someone actually thinks it's a poem about communists written in 70's. That anyone would think it belongs at an anti-war rally is sort of sad.
