Yes, Solon made that point as well, and I think it's a good one. Going off line for a few hours. See you all later.

Karen, Just in case I was missing something, I looked online for the lyrics. There is an introductory stanza which does indicate it is a prayer, and that war is in the offing, but overall it doesn't read to me like a God kill all our enemies thing at all-(as you said)it's more like we are asking for guidance and strength. I am usually a very strong supporter of the separation of church and state, btw. While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. " God Bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home. And it is MUCH easier to sing than the Star Spangled Banner.
