Madonna avoiding controversy? What's this world coming to?
Only days before it was set to premiere on VH1, Madonna has decided to scrap her explosive "American Life" music video out of ``sensitivity and respect'' for armed forces in Iraq, ``who I support and pray for,'' she said in a statement.
``I have decided not to release my new video,'' she explained. ``It was filmed before the war started, and I do not believe it is appropriate to air it at this time.''
Besides her sensitivity to how those in the military may react, the singer cited ``the volatile state of the world'' as her reason for withdrawing the clip.
``I do not want to risk offending anyone who might misinterpret the meaning of this video.''
The video, which included scenes of war and was shot in Los Angeles in February, features Madonna in military garb on a fashion runway alongside camouflage-clad dancers, some of whom are transvestites.
The clip concludes with her lobbing a hand grenade at a smiling President Bush look-alike, who uses it to light a cigar.
