I agree with WIP99 for the most part, and with nirvanaserenity about the eye for an eye. I could see it both ways actually. Jesus, the misguided fool, espousing love in such a hateful world, but misguided because no one listens. Hence, he's being sarcastic about it. Or, George W., misguided because he attacked Iraq as "revenge" for 9/11, hence, an eye for an eye. But definitely, I think this song is clearly about the Iraq war and DM's liberal, peace loving ideals (which I happen to love and agree wholeheartedly with).
