Amazingly, the issue also offers something I doubted I would see from someone other than Mark Millar; making Pres. Bush seem more "evil" than Agent Hill, who all but seems reasonable in this issue. Yes, the President was breathlessly ordering a nuke strike on Genosha, regardless of the Avengers or SHIELD agents possibly being killed in the blast (even promising to "make their sacrificed seem worthy" and whatnot), even after being the one who pressured Hill into "throwing the Avengers" at the threat. Bullocks. In today's day and age, soldiers can't even kill a terrorist without being depicted as thugs, and the Pres. butchered in the media; does Bendis honestly want me to believe that if a premire team of superheroes existed in America, and had protected her from threats for a good 10 years, that ANY president would at the drop of a hat consider them "expendable"? Baloney. Despite how "evil" liberals make America seem during times of war, the nation is still a very individualistic one; we care more about the individual than about "the whole", hence why the loss of every soldier makes us feel pain, and why criminals are afforded so much legal leeway; most other places are about "the good of the whole" and the individual can basically screw themselves. I just had a hard time buying Bush, or ANY president for that matter, being so ruthless and making Hill look like a humanitarian in comparison
