There may have been better music, but no song more true back in those days:

I may not agree with the charicature of RR, but I the message is still
appropriate.

Genesis complained that there's "not much love to go round", but their
approach itself features elements of antagonism, such as putting blame
on the people in power -- a quite popular stance back in the 80s.

In my book, reminding people that others "love their children, too"
(politicians included, as hinted at in Sting's video) is an even more
powerful message.

They may have been making commentary with popular charicatures, but I agree.
Sting had a great message.  Still, I listen to the words of the song before
paying heed to the music video, since I don't know who scripted and directed it.
