Am I on my own here in thinking that invading Iraq was the correct thing to do? If you love art do you have to be a politically correct 'hippy'?

On a Banksy (CND Soldiers / Wrong War) orientated forum I think many people will be a little bit more anti-war concerning Iraq.

Not necessarily. Do you have to support an artist's political stance to be a fan of that artist?
Does this mean on a Banksy (Virgin Mary, Christ with Shopping Bags) orientated forum many people will be anti organised religion.

Not at all imo. However, one time it is wise for people to be 100% "politically correct", is when sending troops to die on foreign soil!

A friend of mine who is a Catholic absolutely loves CWSB (he sees the commercilisation of Christmas as the message) which I think shows a good piece of art can be appreciated by people with opposing points of view.
Considering that Banksy gave Brian Haw a CND Soldiers and that there isn't too much interpretation with the Wrong War images and their connection with being against the Iraq war, I think anyone who feels the Iraq war is a good thing may not want those images on their wall (unless they appreciated the value in ยฃ's or $'s). Or maybe there is something I'm not seeing with those images that could be interpreted as being pro war.
I agree you don't have to support an artists political point of view to like their art but I do feel that I would not like certain images from Banksy's more social and political art if I did not agree with the message. Although, I don't like Banksy's Stop and Search even though I agree with the message.
