What has that got to do with politics? It was written by Trent Reznor about self harm and drug abuse.

Thanks for the background info Kate; but one attribute of the greatness of a piece of work, is it’s ability to mean or invoke different things to people in addition to it’s original subject matter, and that at least two different people have been moved into posting anti-war YouTube videos by this song by relating it to the war in Iraq, does not distract or demean, but rather highlights just how powerful this song really is.

Perhaps you might find this Ozzy Osborne number more appropriate;
