    I guess -- by default -- the song writer could be considered a war monger or protester
    Well, folk songs especially have always played a pretty heavy role in that (despite Lehrer's jabs at them ). But even if we go back to Gulf War I, there was still a some songs that were heavily associated with the war in the civilian world that became icons, and we don't see that with these wars which makes me wonder.
