Yeah, the majority of the songs were written before 9/11, if I'm not mistaken. To me, this song is just about all sorts of people justifying the atrocious things they've done. If you look back over history, the Crusades, the Revolutionary War, 9/11, all of these people were lashing out against something different, but to them, it was all ok because it was for a greater purpose, for the greater good. Whether or not they were all right, that kind of remains to be seen.
The song does seem especially pertinent to 9/11, though.
