Henry Hanks, digs up this particularly bizarre quote from a Guardian interview,
The longer into the night we talk, the more serious he becomes. It’s 1am and a conversation about Three Kings and its comedic take on the ridiculousness of America’s involvement in the Gulf War segues into a discussion about America post 11 September. His view on his country is refreshing. ‘We live on an island. A giant big fucking island. We don’t understand that people actually get mad at us. We still think of ourselves in terms of WW2. It’s not uncommon for us to say to France, “Hey, you’d still be speaking German if it wasn’t for us.” The problem is the world has changed and our involvement in these tiny little places is different than it was in 1941. It was a lot clearer then. We were attacked.’
Apparently the 9/11 attacks were simply accidents. You know, crazy extremist Islamic terrorists out on a joy ride crash Dad’s hijacked passenger jet into the World Trade Center Towers.
