He has courage. He gave great reasons for his views and he's the only one I can think of right now who is really going out there and laying it out.
I can think of some who drop a comment here and there but not many who are as vocal as the anti-war Hollywood flakes.

STARTING ON A congenial note, Miller applauded Donahue: “I’ve always wanted to do a television show with you because you’re (Phil) Donahue. So this means something to me.” But then Miller went on to say that “we could probably not be more diametrically opposed.” Miller offered comments on the war and and he took liberals to task for not seeing evil in the world “because they think they sound like Sissy Spaceck’s mother in ‘Carrie’ or something.”
Though he is not a warmonger, Miller supported the president. “I don’t want to go to war. I hate war. Like any other right-mined person, I assume that I like war about as much as most people in the pro-choice movement like abortion — which is not at all. But I just think that if we do have to go in, I’m going to leave it to (the president). I concede that I don’t know as much about it as him. And I don’t think it’s wrong, as you say, to agree with him.”.
Donahue then disputed Miller’s definition of liberals: “You’re making us to be some sort of wimpy kind of people who think everything is a nice fairy tale.” Donahue also asked Miller: “Do you really believe that killing innocent people is going to make us safer?” Miller shot back: “Do you think that’s our intention? To go seek out the innocent people?”
Donahue and Miller also debated the necessity of going to war with Iraq - and Miller claimed not to understand Donahue’s “obstinate pacifism.” Donahue then reminded Miller that he is not a pacifist and was in fact caught punching someone in public.
However, the match of wits has just begun. Donahue moves on to discuss Minority Leader Tom Daschle’s indictment that the Bush administration’s terror response is inadequate. Miller is not impressed. “ I’m looking at Daschle and I’m thinking, that’s all he ever wanted was specifics. They give the specifics and then they make fun of the specifics.
Yes, you got to put plastic up and some duct tape up if you want to keep the biological stuff out. It’s the same reason I had to get under my desk when the Ruskies had missiles 90 miles off the coast. Yes, these are the day-to-day things that if you want to attempt something — and indeed, some people don’t want to attempt it because they think they’re going to get vaporized it and — but the people who do, if they can go out to Home Depot and buy this stuff, and it makes them feel better, why piss on it?”
Miller asks. So what does Miller think about the high-profile actors who are challenging the Bush administration’s wishes for a war vs. Iraq? On Sean Penn: “I think that once it’s about to hit the fan, if you wanted to decry your leadership, you’re more than welcomed to do so in the local town square. I would stay out of the country that you’re about to business with.”
On Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins: “Earnest, well informed, and their research and their heart has led them to the position that they take, as mine has, too.” On Martin Sheen: “Martin. That’s how he leads his life. I disagree with him. But, the one time I met him, he was a bloke.”
Despite his wide-ranging opinions, Miller does not view himself as an activist, but rather, as an American citizen and, as such, he says he is “behind Bush” all the way.“That’s why I go on these shows once in awhile. I admire Bush to this extent: I did not know what to make of him at first. But I like a man who is aware of his own limitations,” Miller said.
Jones, a former Army officer, drew perhaps the biggest round of applause after the subject turned to America's showdown with Iraq. He said that war is sometimes necessary."All people have to be prepared," Jones said. "If we are going to be the police, we also have to be the guardians. We can no longer play games. I was not against the war in Bosnia. I was against it taking so long. I was not against the war in Somalia. Again, it took too long, and we didn't finish the job. We should've stayed and finished the job. About this pending war, I just think we should've finished that war the first time."
