I think it says great things about us that they did say that on foreign soil, without fear of reprisal from our government, which may have been naive of them given the repressive nature of said government these days. Weren't they in England at the time? All the better- we fought and won several wars against Britain to obtain the right to do just as they did. Besides, plenty of English celebs come over here and knock their own government- we don't seem to mind it when that happens. If a comment by the Dixie Chicks threatened to undermine our war efforts, then perhaps we shouldn't go into war while in such a feeble state.
