Lavigne Gives Ignorant Stance On War (printed from S.F. Gate)

Teen rock sensation Avril Lavigne has slammed American President George W. Bush for his stance on the war in Iraq -- but offers high praise for the Prime Minister of her native Canada. The "Sk8er Boi" singer made her outspoken comments after her four-gong triumph at Sunday's Juno Awards -- Canada's equivalent of the Grammy awards. She told a packed press conference, "I don't believe war is a way to solve problems. I think it's wrong. I don't have respect for the people that made the decisions to go on with war. "I don't have that much respect for Bush. He's about war, I'm not about war -- a lot of people aren't about war." But the pop star praised Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien for not committing his country to the conflict. She added, "I know there's issues in Iraq. I'm not really a political person. It's hard for me to talk about the war. I don't really know what to say but I can say that I'm really proud that our Prime Minister backed out from it."

See the knee jerk reaction? They say "I don't respect Bush" and then later admit that they don't know much. Stupid ass.
