Well, while i am a britney fan
I'm gonna agree with those on here that think her statement was more along the lines of career preservation that political activisim.
I think after the Dixie Chicks fiasco, most entertainers have realized that making throwaway political statements can have a backlash on their careers. I'm not saying that natalie maines was wrong for her opinion, but she's an idiot if she thinks that she can say something like that and her main audience(read: conservative, country music fans) wouldn't have an opinion.
although, seeing as how most of britney's target audience are the HS kids and college kids that were protesting involvement in Iraq, she might have been better served by saying, i trust the president, but, war in iraq is like, wrong man.
