| On January 24th, 2007, in an interview with American radio station National Public Radio, Frank Miller talked about his political views.[3][4] On the issue of the second Iraq war, he said : "Mostly I hear people say, 'Why did we attack Iraq?' for instance. Well, we're taking on an idea. Nobody questions why after Pearl Harbor we attacked Nazi Germany. It was because we were taking on a form of global fascism, we're doing the same thing now." In his view, America lacks firmness against its enemies: "It seems to me quite obvious that our country and the entire Western World is up against an existential foe that knows exactly what it wants... and we're behaving like a collapsing empire. Mighty cultures are almost never conquered, they crumble from within. And frankly, I think that a lot of Americans are acting like spoiled brats." About those being fought against, Miller said "For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we"re up against, and the sixth century barbarism that they actually represent. These people saw people's heads off. They enslave women, they genitally mutilate their daughters, they do not behave by any cultural norms that are sensible to us. I"m speaking into a microphone that never could have been a product of their culture, and I"m living in a city where three thousand of my neighbors were killed by thieves of airplanes they never could have built." Miller also claimed that Iraq declared war on the U.S.. |

Brats Spoiled Acting Americans
Well, he has a point. When the 9/11 attacks occurred I expected we would retaliate and annihilate those responsible. Then all the money and effort could have been focused on rebuilding. Instead the U.S. government focused in on elusive phantoms who still have not been caught. Iraq became the scapegoat. Instead of making a strong statement of "don't mess with us" they became blinded by political correctness and popular world opinion. The results are enmeshment in a war where there is no clear delineation of who the enemy is. The connection to 9/11 (the reason it all started to begin with)is lost. As for the United States, we are crumbling from within and if somebody doesn't wake up soon and do something about it, it will be too late.
