Kidder raised some hackles in the early 1990s during the U.S. intervention in Kuwait, when she ridiculed the press and the military for not seeing the larger consequences of their actions. Despite the criticism, Kidder became a United States citizen on August 17, 2005, in Butte, Montana; she lives in nearby Livingston). She said the reason for her decision to become an American citizen is to participate in the voting process, to continue her protests against U.S. intervention in Iraq and at the same time to be free of worries about being deported back to Canada. http://www.montanastandard.com/articles/2005/08/18/newsbutte/hjjejbibjjebif.txt.
