Joe Scarborough : What the hell ??
Joe 'Reason To Believe': Joe Scarborough Releases Powerful Antiwar Song


For all the similarities between America's war in Vietnam and those in Iraq and Afghanistan, this past decade's wars have not yielded the singular pop-cultural response that the earlier quagmire did.

A decade after the September 11 terrorist attacks, even as thousands of American soldiers have lost their lives overseas, fueling a level of public antiwar sentiment not seen in a generation, there is still no anthem that speaks to this era, that defines it. Joe Scarborough aims to change that.

The host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and former Florida congressman, Scarborough is no John Mellencamp and he's certainly not the Dixie Chicks -- he's a Republican, after all. Yet the host, also a songwriter and Beatles fan, told The Huffington Post that his new song, "Reason to Believe," has a purpose that would have resonated with earlier critics of Vietnam.

"It's critical that we remember the heroes of 9/11 and those who are still fighting in an endless war," Scarborough said. "They need to come home. It's time."

4. I don't get how he can use that title
"Reason to Believe" is an old Tim Hardin song.
