Dixie Chicks Iran Iraq War

The blood red state Republican Party politicians have claimed repeatedly ad nauseum that they are the party of Jesus Christ and the Democrats are the party of Satan. George Bush has publicly declared a Christian Crusade against the Muslim people of Iraq in the name of Jesus Christ. He told 2 BBC reporters that Jesus Christ commanded him to invade Iraq. Which Jesus Christ was George Bush talking about? The Prince of Peace? Jesus stood on the mountain and said, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Love yourself. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Do not murder. Love your enemies. An eye for an eye is wrong. Be a total pacifist. Do not strike back even in self defense. If a man hits you on the right cheek, do not strike back. Turn your left cheek to him also and let him strike it.” (Matt. 5:38).

Natalie Maines is a singer with the popular country group The Dixie Chicks. Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks was born in Lubbock Texas. Months before the Iraq War began Natalie Maines said at a show in London, England that she was ashamed that President Bush was from Texas, because she opposed the idea of the United States invading Iraq. As a result of this comment, Natalie Maines and the Dixie Chicks faced scorching criticism and even death threats from the American media and public. American country music stations vilified her and refused to play the Dixie Chicks music, even to this very day. Americans boycotted the albums of the Dixie Chicks. This modern Salem Witch Hunt of the Prophetess Natalie Maines forced Natalie Maines to apologize to President Bush. More interestingly, on Nov. 21, 2003, three and a half years ago, Natalie Maines said on NBC’s Today show, “I think people were misled and I think people are fighting a war that they didn’t know they were going to be fighting, and I think they were misled by people who should have been asking questions and weren’t.” This was 3 ½ years before the Scooter Libby trial.

Of all the leading Presidential candidates from both parties only Barack Obama opposed the Iraq War. All the rest persuaded the United States to invade Iraq and voted to do it. In an interview in Newsweek magazine in 2002 former South African President and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Nelson Mandela repeated his call for George Bush not to invade Iraq. President Nelson Mandela said that George Bush was trying to please the American arms and oil industries, whose profits have soared because of the Iraq War. President Nelson Mandela reminded us how America had supported the Mujahideen including Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan against the Russians. President Nelson Mandela said that no evidence had been presented to support the claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and former U.S. Marine and United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter said repeatedly in 2002 that “there is no such evidence and Iraq does not possess any weapons of mass destruction”.
