Songs such as "War Child" and "Bosnia" both deal with the heavy-handed subject of war. Whereas the Irish group was well qualified to write of Belfast's destruction, they are out of their element when they attempt to focus on the Bosnian war. "When do the saints go marching in..." repeatedly intones "Bosnia", while a children's lullaby plays faintly in the background.

...scene, several bombs exploded within 275 yds. of her convoy. This was nothing new for TIME's Beirut bureau chief. Marlowe has been perilously close to the action since she joined TIME in 1989. Her datelines include some of the world's most dangerous places: Kuwait, Iraq, Bosnia, Azerbaijan, Somalia, Algeria. Fluent in French and Arabic, Marlowe has one inflexible rule for covering civil wars: "I've learned how crucial it is to show that I don't take sides...
