War springs from the love and loyalty which should be offered to God being applied to some God substitute, one of the most dangerous being nationalism.

Substitute For Love
Written by Madonna, William Orbit, Rod McKuen, Anita Kerr and David Collins
I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
Got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for
more
I suffered fools
So gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
mmmmmm
ooooooo
No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark
mmmmm?
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

Any extremism is dangerous
Why any kind of extremism is called dangerous?
This threat has emanated from unknown source
It has blinded all races and remained continuous
It has existed and can be contributed to many or various
Nationalism is termed as dangerous zone
The past tendency of religion with nationalism has gone
They have to passed various stages of transformation
As each nation is housed with different races die to annexation
Many new states have come with new boundaries
Their national sentiment and loyalty stands acid test and varies
Still something is keeping them together as special bondage
They co-exist as single entity and effectively manage
The national sentiment runs high in deep crisis
There is deep cry for elimination and emphasis
Certain ethnic cleansing is not ruled as reprisal
We have witnessed systematic extermination on reversals
No nation can claim free from dual representation
It can be considered as curse gift from its orientation
Why each religion has two sets of its origination?
When source was one and evils only faced elimination?
We have inherited wrong practice with the right
We preferred not peace but resorted to wrong fight
Not a single issue has found any solution
As a result there was enough mark of frustration and disillusion
Who was to take us to the prosperity and peace?
Who was to prove as torch bearer for the situation to ease?
The religion, nationalism or world to help at little extent
The broader understanding and tolerance was the right moment
Still there prevails tolerance and nations are afraid
The world has seen the fast disappearance of apartheid
Those who did not see eye to eye now exist side by side
The gap has been narrowed down but differences are still wide
So long as the disputes are confined to ideological differences
Or are awaiting boundary settlements with international references
Nothing can deteriorate or inflame the situation to dangerous level
Each nation knows where do they stand and have different story to tell

Love and Its Desserts
There was before me
the carefully prepared plate
the feast of feasts
and she said
'this is my love.'
The dessert was
jubilant
and she took
from the oven
pie after pie
and I ate.
But how to say
that Love's Substitute
is not the meal I eat
nor are the biscuits
the Love I crave
even tho it's the
love she's got to give.
If the Love Train passes
in this night
who to say where
those passing trains
will curve back
and meet
at some future point?
She says I can only give
you the love I have to give
and I say but I need the love
I need to have.
Try as I may
dinner is good
but I'll not be able to see
that it is love of which I dreamed
even though it is the love you
have to give.
So loving her as I do
I eat
too much
and see her love
grow
each year
around my waist.
But that is the measure
of how we take the love
sometimes offered
even if it is not the love
of which we've dreamed.
If perfect love
would come along
maybe I'd not be worthy
even as I crave
its perfect tones.
So perhaps
I'll substitute
her deserts
with a hand-feeding
of celery sticks
and love-making
in the afternoon.
Humm,
does that work?

Nationalism is always an effort in a direction opposite to that of the principle which creates nations. The former is exclusive in tendency, the latter inclusive. In periods of consolidation, nationalism has a positive value, and is a lofty standard. But in Europe everything is more than consolidated, and nationalism is nothing but a mania, a pretext to escape from the necessity of inventing something new, some great enterprise.

Love Is Dangerous
Written by rick vito and stevie nicks.
Oh theres a stranger
Standing in the shadows of love
Oh the danger
Demands what youre needing of
Be careful what you love
Be careful what you need
Be careful what you say
Be careful who you please, careful who you please
Love love love
Love is dangerous
Lo-o-o-o-ove
Love is dangerous
Oh theres no warning
That takes you to the promised land
Hearts made of crystal
Crumble like castles of sand
Echoes of emothion
And the visions of a fool
Echoes of forbidden ground
And its too good to be true, too good to be true
Love love love
Love is dangerous
Lo-o-o-o-ove
Love is dangerous
Standing at the crossroads
Ooh yeah this is wild
Maybe its my crossraods
Maybe this is mine
Maybe this is mine, oooh
Love love love
Love is dangerous
Lo-o-o-o-ove
Love is dangerous
Dont be a fool
Love love love
Love is dangerous
Lo-o-o-o-ove
Love is dangerous

I also argued before the war that the administration was underestimating Arab nationalism and Iraqi nationalism, that it was not going to be as easy to rule Iraq as they thought.
I believe that nationalism is a very strong force, but there are other forces operating; there are tendencies pushing towards a larger picture, especially in Europe, I think; but I still think nationalism is real.

Dangerous (Look In The Light Of What You're Searching For)
Come into the light, passing through wisdom.
Hoping for love, all of the moves
Don't come across; you get too much.
Everybody needs it; don't show your body.
So dangerous - This fear of love
So dangerous - Can you handle it?
So dangerous - To love
So dangerous - Everyone else can do it
Walking the street, you're breaking your love.
Lose your heart, all in a mess.
In the middle of the night, looking for a little
Hands to the sun; don't show your body.
Death defying - Hurt by love
Passing through shadows - Don't lose your body
So dangerous - This fear of love
So dangerous - Can you handle it?
So dangerous - To keep this fear of love
So dangerous - To let it go
I don't imagine, I don't imagine as it is;
Don't get confused.
In the light, through the night...
Look in the light, through the night
Look in the light of what you're searching for.
Hide from your heart here in the arms of wanting.
Hide from the dark here in the arms of love.
Run from the fear inside the darkest reaches.
Look to yourself; you'll see the path is clear
So dangerous - This fear of love
So dangerous - Can you handle it?
So dangerous - To love
So dangerous - Everyone else can do it
Take what you have into the arms of wanting (to the arms of love)

Morphine & Chocolate
Substitute my gloom with happiness
Substitute my sickness with health
Substitute my enemies with real good friends
Morphine & chocolate are my
Substitute, substitutes
Morphine & chocolate can bring me up
Can warm my heart whenever i want it
And every once in a while when i stop and think
Morphine & chocolate are my
Substitute, substitutes
And you can say " hey, we've really come a long way "
And you say " hey, it can only be this way "
You might be careful, it really hurts when it's real
You might be careful, it really hurts when it's real
You'll go down, down, down, down, ooh !
Set the alarm clock, baby
Don't you miss the sun ?
I'm feeling really warm hearted baby
Don't you know i'm feeling like someone
I'm fearing for my life again and i am
Fearing for my heart
Morphine & chocolate could never
Substitute my art !
And that's real love baby x3

Substitute
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But Im a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but Im just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
Its a genuine problem, you wont try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least Ill get my washing done
