I am inept online.
Does anyone know who did the eighties song, "If I had a rocket launcher"...The chorus, at least, sums up my feelings over the last few days fairly well.

The artist is BRUCE COCHBURN (sp?)
Found on:

Stealing Fire (1984)
Waiting For A Miracle, Singles 1970-1987 (1987) [compilation album]
Lyrics:

Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die
