Pop Goes the Propaganda
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart

<p> French police have banned the sale of a hit record called
Go for It Saddam, a paean to the Iraqi dictator. Recorded in
Arabic by Algerian singer Mohamed Mazouni, the song is popular
with France's North African youth. The single, which was
available in both audio- and videocassette versions, attacks
the West for the war and ends on an apocalyptic note: "Where
are you, Muslims?/ You permitted Bush/ to tread in the Holy
Shrines...other Arabs are hypnotized by the dollar.../Oil prices rise, the atomic bomb/ is being made to terrorize
Israel."
