(AP) — John Mellencamp said he and his wife, model Elaine Irwin-Mellencamp, were sur prised by the negative reaction to a song on his new album that questions the war in Iraq. The couple answered criti cism of “To Washington” in an essay published in Thursday’s Herald-Times. Since the song was released as a single as the war with Iraq was beginning in March, the cou ple has taken heat for its political includes an apparent critique of MELLENCAMP content, which President Bush. They said some people had mistakenly labeled them pacifists. Irwin-Mellencamp described an encounter with one person who said the way to test a pacifist was to punch him in the nose and see how long it took him to hit back. “I’ll tell you one thing about the Mellencamps,” the 52-year-old rocker told the newspaper for a story Thursday. “We don’t believe in killing people and we don’t believe in war, but we’re not pacifists.” The Mellencamps said they had questions about U.S. policy in Iraq and on other issues, and they were surprised by the negative reaction to the song, which is included on the album, “Trouble No More.” “I don’t understand why people think it’s not OK to question the government, I really don’t,” said Irwin-Mellencamp. Siegfried accepts World Entertainment Award on PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Rojs Moore was shaken and stirred Thursday to call f? greater production of iodized salt in Cambodia| prevent diseases caused by a lack of the nutrient “This is a serious problem, although it’snots dramatic as sort of an epidemic,” said the 76-yeai old fonner James Bond stiff, a goodwill ambassado; for UNICEF who arrived in Cambodia Wednesday to campaign for iodized salt. “It is something that is there and has to bee* batted,” he said in a telephone interview bet® heading out to Kampot province to visit its sail fields. Kampot is a major salt producing regionl miles southwest of Phnom Penh. According to the United Nations, the percent^ of households in the developing world using iodized salt surged from less than 20 percent in 1990 to711 percent in 2000. But in Cambodia, only 12 perce® of households consume iodized salt. “That is not good enough," said Moore. “1 means that 88 percent of the population are beiiif denied the chance (to lead) a healthy life.” Last year, 46 million children were bom withoui protection from iodine deficiency, the world’s greal est cause of preventable mental retardation, accoid ing to UNICEF. More than half the children bom in Cambodia each year are at risk of developing iodine deficiency disorders.
