Isaac Guillory in Bob Dylan's With God On Our Side. There are so many wonderful versions of this now classic. I find Issac Guillory's rendition one of the most reasonable modern interpretations -- a mind's quiet awakening. Peace will never provide the same *electric charge* to your system as some bloodthirsty, patriotic, glory-invoked battle.
Sadly, wiki reports that Mr. Guillory died of undetected cancer on New Year's Eve, 2000. I guess he was the casualty of another war our government wages, against its own people, on their own soil, claiming the lives of 45,000 Americans every year. As they still don't open Medicare. That, too, would be too quietly reasonable.
