This anti-war song was effective in the Vietnam war, but is it important now to the Iraq war?

2. I can't hear that song... |

...without thinking about Jackie Chan mutilating it at the end of "Rush Hour."
Am I the only one who likes Springsteen's version better than Edwin Starr's original?

5. All war protest songs are relevant |

If you think of any more, I'll add the singers to my arts page.
