I've been wracking my brain trying to remember if the lyrics on the show last night were the same as in the posted lyrics of the song here. I could have sworn that there was some direct reference to Iraq last night, but it may have just been implied because of the context of the rest of the show, and how anybody saying "this war," today, is really referring to the War on Iraq.

And context does seem to be key on how I perceive the song. If I look at it in the context of the war on the Taliban and the search for Al Qaeda, I'm okay on the lyrics there. If I look at it as a justification for war on Iraq though, it bothers me. A lot. So it's very dependent on what "this war" means. The war in Afghanistan? Or Iraq?
