actually this song can be tied to wut dude8001 said, cuz again its materialism. if compared to the war in iraq, its also about the oil we can get from them, instead of how much we would rather show love and compassion to another country. its because our country wants revenge and materialism, that we cant show them love instead of hatred, materialism takes our eyes off of how we need to love others as God loved us. and that we should also forgive one another. but yes both your interpretations are correct. we just need to think more deeply into the context of the msg.
