That is completely incorrect.
This is about the 2003 invasion of Iraq, obviously. They even talk about Fallujah in the song.
Considering Saddam was known for actively torturing, murdering, and starving his people and we took him out...and this song is obviously against that action, I would say it isn't about sympathy for tortured and starving people at all, but the opposite.
Rob is obviously an isolationist who thinks we should just let every piece of shit in the world murder hundreds or thousands of people.
