ATHENS, 22 June 2003 — Westerners who rely on the skewed reporting of Fox News or other “fair and balanced” networks, read hysteria-inducing dailies such as “The Sun,” or base their opinions on Hollywood films often end up with an erroneous impression of the Arab world and Arabs themselves. The negatively-indoctrinated might be interested to learn that the Arab world is blessed with qualities fast disappearing in the West — in particular, compassion, a love for humanity and hospitality. It would be nice to back up my assertion with hard facts and statistics but such values are hardly quantifiable. My...

<p>Country singer Darryl Worley hugs fan Mary Scafaro of Florida during a party at Baldwin Showcase.</p> <p>Then there were hand-held video cameras fighting for space with high-dollar television recording equipment. There were amplifiers and managers and music, and about 400 people crammed into a room to hear, greet and cheer for Hardin County, Tenn., native Darryl Worley.</p>

“I’m sorry, I’m a little scattered,” Darryl Worley says, calling in on a cell phone. “I’ve got so many damn things going on, and I’m sitting in the middle of an airport. It’s not the greatest place to do an interview.” A slight echo distorts everything he hears on the other end of the phone, although his own words come through loud and clear. That’s appropriate, considering the fiercely patriotic message of his No. 1 hit, “Have You Forgotten?” A bold statement from a traditional-minded singer, “Have You Forgotten?” has become country music’s rallying cry of 2003. The single...

Country singing star Darryl Worley joined me in the broadcast studio yesterday to sing his tribute to the troops called, "Have You Forgotten?" Darryl is the kind of guy you wouldn't associate with show biz. Unassuming, polite, and enormously talented, he wrote that song as a tribute to our troops after a visit with them in Afghanistan, and it's dynamite. I got two answers to the question the song posed yesterday. As you'd expect, the Marines haven't forgotten. Everyone knows what the Marines' motto, semper fidelis, means. They are always faithful to their country and to their brothers in arms....

WASHINGTON, April 16, 2003 - Everyone knows Donald H. Rumsfeld is one tough hombre. Yet today, a country singer made the straight-talking, no-nonsense defense secretary wipe tears from his eyes. Darryl Worley gave a 45-minute concert at the Pentagon for several hundred service members, civilian employees and family members this morning. The show was broadcast live to troops overseas, and an audio webcast is available here. After singing a mix of down-home country songs, with an extra dollop of patriotism, Worley introduced his chart-topping hit "Have You Forgotten." He said he wrote the tune after a USO trip to Afghanistan...

Was anyone watching Foxnews just now? Oh it was so awesome! They played Darryl Worley's have you Forgotten? and then put it with pictures of the troops overseas! I'm going to request that they play it again, I was shouting at the TV in agreement!! It was an awesome tribute! They showed some pictures of us bombing the hell out of Saddam's regime.

According to the 9:00 A.M. CDT news break, Daryl Worley will be singing his hit song at the Pentegon and supposedly to be introduced by Rummy..nothing further..FNC will surely show

Just a heads up if anybody cares to listen in.

Everybody’s tight-lipped about the surprise guests at Monday’s (April 7) CMT Flameworthy 2003 Video Music Awards, but here’s what we know: The last time Flameworthy co-host Toby Keith was interviewed by CMT, he was asked what he’d be performing at the awards show. He said he might share one of his bus songs (such as “Only the Best-Looking Tuna Gets to Be Star-Kissed”), and he thought he’d perhaps write something for the occasion. Of course, with “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” up for two nominations -- or three, if … well, you know. Keith is going to make...

War Support Songs Invade Airwaves Antiwar Songs Played Less SAN DIEGO -- Radio listeners may be hearing more songs in support of the war, than opposition, 10News reported. "I like Iraq's chances of winning the war than hearing an antipatriotic song or un-American song on a country station," country radio station KSON 97.3 program director John Dibeck said. Dibeck was recently forced to deal with the issue head on when the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, Natalie Maines, said to a London audience, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." All...

<p>What country singer Darryl Worley experienced in Afghanistan would affect his life forever.</p> <p>In the United States, his fans were carefree: singing, dancing and toasting a night on the town. But his fans in Afghanistan and Kuwait -- stationed on the front line of the war on terrorism -- had rifles slung over their shoulders.</p>

Following negative comments made in London about U.S. President George W. Bush by the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines, country radio stations have shunned the group's "Travelin' Soldier" enough to force it completely off of Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks roundup, where it was No. 1 just two weeks ago. On the other hand, the pro-war balled "Have You Forgotten?" from Darryl Worley has taken over as No. 1 on the tally.

Darryl Worley's patriotic song "Have You Forgotten" is now #1 on the Radio & Records country music charts, for the week ending April 5th. This is one of the fastest climbs to #1 by a song on the country charts. "Have You Forgotten" has been on the charts only 5 weeks....usually most songs take as long as 30 weeks from its chart debut to hit #1.

WHY ALLIED FORCES FIGHT ON IN IRAQ Have You Forgotten? ..... March 23, 2003: Has the mainstream media's latest barrage of depressing "war is folly!' reports gotten you down and made you start questioning the wisdom of the American military campaign against Saddam? If so, we have only one question to pose: HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN? ...................

The world didn't change on that morning of Sept. 11. It was always a dangerous place, full of threats and worse. We didn't believe it. Then we believed it, and we changed. And now the world will have to adjust to that. In dry and dusty lectures, professors of political science have stressed to bored students that domestic events shape foreign policy. There are no clearer examples of that than what happened in Afghanistan and what is going on in Iraq now. We changed because terrorists were successful in killing thousands of Americans on our soil on Sept. 11. The...

Just saw a repeat of the Lou Dobbs show on CNN and the country singer, forgive me but I believe his name is Daryl Worley, was on singing his song "Do You Remember.... what was so awesome was it seemed CNN made a video to this song which was very much pro-war and anti-American haters...I'm sorry I mean anti-peace protestors.

DISPATCHES FROM THE AMERICAN FRONTMarch 11, 2003 Have You Forgotten?By James Benton It's eighteen months today, eighteen months since 9/11, and as the next battle in the War on Terrorism seems imminent, an important question needs to be asked of everyone, particularly of those who oppose any action against Iraq: Have you forgotten? Do you remember what happened that day? Do you remember not just where you were but how you felt when you heard what was happening? Have you forgotten watching the second plane plow into the World Trade Center? Did you think of the lives lost at that...

Darryl Worley live on Hannity and Colmes tonight.
