one's values doesn't give strength, that takes might - muscle. being unified behind that muscle, adn willing to use it to defend and promote those values does.

History is replete with high value cultures that failed due to disunity, or unwillingness/inability to defend themselves.

one could also use this movie to show another POV: The barbaric (Radical islams) are unified behind their power and hate, while the western society isn't capable of defending itself against the horde of invaders...

I find it very interesting how the US is portrayed as unable to win the war in Iraq, which can be stretched to "unable to defend itself." This is so absurd. The US absolutely can win the war in Iraq and we can defend ourselves. We just don't seem to WANT to defend ourselves. Big difference. It's like having someone tying us all up with toilet paper and then beating the crap out of us. Clearly we could break free from the TP, but we just lie down and take the whupping until we truly are incapable of defending ourselves. We have the strength. We have the weapons. We don't have the will to use any of it for fear of being called a Bully. God save us all.
