Madonna calls for US troops to leave Iraq !!
LONDON (AFP) - US pop star Madonna (news - web sites)
made a rare foray into politics, calling for her home
country to withdraw its troops from Iraq (news - web
sites) during an interview with British radio.
"I just don't want American troops to be in Iraq,
period," she said on BBC Radio.
"My feelings are 'can we just all get out?'," said the
46-year-old star, who lives mainly in London with
British film director husband Guy Ritchie, who said
she believes the US-led war will not help in the fight
against terrorism.
"Global terror is everywhere. Global terror is down
the street, around the block," she said.
"Global terror is in California. There's global terror
everywhere and it's absurd to think you can get it by
going to one country and dropping tons of bombs on
innocent people."
Madonna's best known belief is her adherence to the
Kabbalah, a faith based on the study of Hebrew texts
which has become increasingly popular in recent years,
notably among music and film stars.
On other subjects, the singer said the recent US
presidential election had illustrated how US society
was "becoming very divided".
"People are becoming very polarized," she said. "We
have people who don't want to think, and who just want
to guard what is theirs, and they're selfish and
limited in their thinking and they're very fearful in
their choices."
Madonna said that her personal choice for the
presidency would have been Wesley Clark (news - web
sites), the former four star general who was well
beaten to the Democratic nomination by John Kerry
(news - web sites).
"I thought very carefully about it. I thought Wesley
Clark had the best leadership qualities," she said.
"If he had the same political experience as Kerry he
could have bridged that gap."
