I'm a little confused as to how you can interpret the song as being anti-war

Thanks... glad it's not just me. I've looked at the lyrics from buckinghamnicks.net and I am having a VERY hard time finding anti-war sentiment in there, unless the whole thing is sarcasm. Knowing Lindsey, that's possible. But I think it's more likely he's using peace/war as a metaphor for a relationship or life in general. And there's always the possibility this song is a reply to Stevie's "Fall From Grace." In fact, I KNOW it's one of those two, because this song is more than a few months old.
If either side of the war debate tries to make it fit their cause, they can. And songs do tend to take on different meanings over the years. This one just doesn't seem specific enough to make either side's point.
"We make all of our suns the same
Every one will suffer the fire we've made (could be anti-war)
They all explode just the same
And there's no going back on the plans we've made"
"Peacekeeper,
don't tell why
Don't be afraid to fight (could be pro-war)
Love is the sweet surprise"
