		<description>Good for Morrison.  It's good to see Sacred Cows like Frank Miller get a little push-back from time to time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Although I think Miller had the best of intentions, perhaps harkening back to the WWII era comics and their regular trouncings of Axis leaders at the hands of superheroes, I don't think that same spirit translates as well to the modern war against the radical Islamists.  Unlike the clear evil faced in World War II, there's a good amount of persuasion involved in getting people to understand what we're up against, and Miller pitting Batman against Bin Laden probably isn't the best way to convince people this is a serious, high stakes conflict.  Whatever your individual feelings about the conflict are, I think we can all agree that throwing superheroes into the mix cheapens and trivializes everyone involved....especially Miller.</description>
