Great song, scotz. I've got to say, Sting does the political song like no other, IMHO. "They Dance Alone" and "Russians" also say so much lyrically with beautiful melodies.

The song "Russians" was written about with the Cold War but his lyrics for that song are sorta apt in this discussion as well:

There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
