As we witnessed another decade of war ravaging the Middle East, Steve Earle's "Jerusalem" took an almost unsolveable complex set of issues, religious beliefs, territorial claims and deep-seated hatreds and boiled it down to a simple call for peace. Perhaps it's impossible, but this song offered hope for a region that so desperately needs something to believe in, and something to help foster community, forgiveness and understanding. You just never know.
