    Truth, justice, and the American way of life.

    Why not try sending Superman to talk to some Iraqi kids, hmmmm?

    Superman supporting ChimpyBusHitlerHalliburton? Send him back to Krypton!

    Fuming: Don’t you know that that was mik – mik’s idea of sarcasm? He has the political acumen of a dumb turnip.

    He looks like he’s in shape, too. No padding in his tights — as it were.

    MikMik–your idea may have the best of intentions but I don’t know if the cultural divides that exist between American kids raised on comic books and Iraqi kids raised on… well, years of violence… could be breached… even by Superman.

    Frank_D…, it is a naive, forlorn hope that grown-ups have anything under contro.

    The world’s going to kick kids in the teeth enough… children certainly don’t need their advocates to do too.

    Don’t exactly know how this is Superman supporting Bush. He’s supporitng the kids, which is the right thing to do.

    The next Frank Miller comic is going to be Batman fighting Al-Qaeda in the streets of Gotham. Sounds kinda cool. Although it seems to me that in a world where supervillans exist, al-Qaeda’s a bit less scary. Osama bin Laden isn’t immortal or super strong, by contrast.

    Oliver, I’m surprised at you. This is so obviously connected to Superman’s exploitattion by the oil – hungry (see “Syriana” for details) neo – cons fotheir nefarious purposes, I am amazed that you missed.
    I guess you find it hard to believe that your hero might be doing the wrong thing.

    Well, you haven’t seen Syriana, and that isn’t what the movie is about. But some of us don’t have people tell us what to think. You should try it sometime.

    What’s that, Oliver? “Having people tell us what to think”? Sure, lefties do it all the time.
    I don’t have people telling me wat to think.

    Oliver, stop beating a dead horse.

    From the web site of the movie Syriana (which is not about oil)

    Oil Change

    A campaign to reduce our dependence on oil

    Inspired by the film Syriana

    Oil addiction. It saps America’s economic strength, pollutes our environment, and jeopardizes national security. Breaking that addiction begins with the choices we make as individuals. Instead of oil dependence, let s choose Oil Change! Learn more…
