POLITICS-US:
Grannies Rage Against the Machine
William Fisher

NEW YORK, Jul 28 (IPS) - The five elderly women stood in front of a U.S. Army recruiting office in Tucson, Arizona, and began to sing. To the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business", they belted out the lyrics they had written:

There's no business like war business
The worst business we know
Never mind the homeless and the hungry,
Never mind the people without jobs
Nowhere can you get that special feeling
Than when you're piling up the bombs.

There's no business like war business
The best business we know
Multinational profits going through the sky
They multiply while children die
The same amount buys food and clothes
For everyone all over the world.

The group, known as the Raging Grannies of Tucson (RGT), has been performing its "act" outside the recruiting office every Wednesday for the past three years as a protest to the war in Iraq.
