Material Girl Decides To Stay Out of The War Debate

On the eve of its official debut, pop superstar Madonna has decided to recall her latest video, which is reportedly a vicious indictment of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The video had been much talked about in light of the unfavorable publicity which has befallen other musicians who dared to question U.S. policy in recent days. But Madonna’s video is said to be much more overt than a simple statement against the war: in its closing moments, the singer “pulls the pin on a hand grenade and angrily tosses it into the crowd – where it is handily caught by a smug George W. Bush lookalike. The pseudo-Bush smiles and reveals the grenade to actually be a cigarette lighter, which he uses to light a big cigar.”
