this song, i think, is about us invading and 'christianizing' the middle east. especially the lines:
"wrapped up in the dream of patriotic clean white washed desire/and every time the real wars defined/the trenches are filled to hide battle lines/torches to bridges and bridges to torture/headlines distort what we see as our borders/and what gives us the right to feel with remorse/for a god they created"
it really, really fits in to what's going on in Iraq right now. being the political band they are this seems to fit real well.
