Modine’s boilerplate Hollywood politics aren’t helping to rebuild an emotional connection with most Americans, either. He was recently interviewed on CNN, where he came out with this gem:
Imagine if somebody were to really sit down with Osama Bin Ladin and say, “listen man, what is it that you’re so angry at me about that you’re willing to have people strap bombs to themselves, or get inside get inside of airplanes and fly them into buildings.” That would be the miracle if we can get, sit down and talk to our enemies and find a way for them to hear us.
Yes, just imagine. Maybe it would be like the Munich Agreement of 1938, after which British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared “peace in our time.”
Whoops.
Unfortunately, Matthew Modine is not alone in his way of thinking. ...

He’s not useful..............
he’s useful ??
Any relation to Jethro? Oops, that’s Bodine, never mind.
looks like ol Ferris needs another day off
He was remarkably stupid. They would cut his head off.
oops. wrong mathew im thinking of.
Confusing him with Matthew Broderick?
Wrong Matthew. Matthew Modine was Private Pyle. Matthew BRODERICK was Ferris Bueller.
That was Matthew BRODERICK................
Here's how that converstation will go -
Hey Binny.....I know we have had our disagreements and all...but can we somehow learn to...................KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m with you on the idiot part, but in what way is he “useful”?
The Visionquest guy. Haha

Matthew Modine is a 4th rate actor who hasn't done anything significant in years and who just figured out that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Both of them are leftists, though.
“That would be the miracle if we can get, sit down and talk to our enemies and find a way for them to hear us.”
I’m officially dubbing this “The Chamberlain Doctrine”. It killed 60 million people in the 1940’s.
yea, i corrected myself. i dont really understand why his opinion even matters. These guys are so lost in the sauce.
Hes right up there with Sean Penn
Apparently, Hollywood doesn’t find him useful either.
Heh, we saw this on Red Eye from last night. What Modine, and his fellow actors, don’t seem to understand is that Osama and his buds would go after them just as hard as anyone else. Osama and his fellow murderers hate us simply because to them, we’re infidels, because we don’t subscribe to their particular religious beliefs. No amount of coddling in the world is ever going to change that.
CORRECTION: Modine was Private JOKER. Vincent D’onofrio was Private Pyle.
